In this area, I've collected some of my work intended to
help a novice Java programmer.
Reading program code can be confusing as adjacent lines may implement widely
separate parts of the user interface. To help, I wrote a font viewer program
and marked each line as to what feature it implemented. Then I wrote the
SourceViewer system (below) to animate the source code. With the resulting
FontViewer-tour
you can highlight or isolate the code for any one of some forty features.
SourceExplorer generates an interactive page slicing and dicing a source codefile. The developer marks each code line with a feature tag. When viewing the code you can highlight or isolate any chosen set of features.
The example at right shows the viewer generated to see the source code of FontViewer.
From time to time I have responded to questions posed on various forums.
My collected answers are in this section. Also here is the program
MakeColorPage
with which I explored how to display a bunch of named colors.
