Deciding Layouts
Deciding the layout is a very important step in Java GUI programming, just like solving an algorithm in normal programming. Layout decides how the components like labels, buttons, text fields etc are going to be displayed on a frame or window.
Some GUI can be designed using single panel with a single simple layout. Some GUI need to be broken down into smaller panels which have to be added to an outer panel. Each smaller panel can have its own layout.
The simplest layout is the flow layout. Flow layout produces output as a single row. So go for flow layout if you have only 3 or lesser components or if you want all the components in a single row.
Next is grid layout. As long as you can determine the rows and columns, you can use this layout. It is possible to use grid layout for most of the applications which you want to develop with a single panel. You can always use filler labels to occupy the empty spaces. So grid layout works fine in such cases.
But if you want to have a very neat GUI with very good layout, you need to go for more than 1 panel. In that case, grid, flow, and border are all used together.
The development of a GUI depends on the type of problem. There are 2 types of GUI problems:
1. Problems which just specify that you need to do certain things. In this case, the layout of GUI is totally in your hands.
2. Problems where you are given a rough drawing on how GUI needs to look.
Type 1:
In case 1, you need to start with a paper and pencil.
- Read the problem and identify what needs to be displayed to the user
- Depending on that, draw a simple diagram on how you want your GUI to look
- Then start deciding on the layout
For example, consider the problem below:
Write a GUI java program that takes 2 numbers from the user, adds them, and displays the sum.
Solution:
1. For this, you need 2 text fields to read 2 inputs. 2 labels to tell what to enter in the text fields.
2. 1 button to initiate calculation.
3. 1 text field to display result, and 1 label to address the text field.
4. The rough diagram will be
5. For the above diagram, if you are going to use a single panel, then grid layout is the best choice. To decide the layout, dissect the diagram as shown below.
The chart depicted below shows the scope and sequence plan for a 200-hour Information and Software Technology (IST) course. The course covers the syllabus as prescribed by the Board of Studies, New South Wales ("Information and Software Technology Years 7–10: Syllabus", 2003, p. 15-30).This course covers the following optional topics: 1) Digital Media, 2) Database Design, 3) Software Development & Programming and 4) Internet & Website Development. The projects or tasks associated with the optional topics incorporate the core topics listed below: C1- Design Produce and Evaluate, C2-Data Handling, C3-Hardware, C4- Issues, C5-Past, Current and Emerging Technologies, C6-People, and C7-Software. The prefix C1-C7 identifies the core topic and would be used in the chart to the show the link between the course and the prescribed syllabus Wales ("Information and Software Technology Years 7–10: Advice on Programming and Assessment", 2003, p. 6). The expected outcomes are listed as numerical identifiers of stage 5 outcomes taken from the Information and Software Technology Years 7–10: Syllabus (2003, p. 12-13) document. For example, outcome 5.2.1 in term1 of year 9 points to “describes and applies problem-solving processes when creating solutions” of stage 5 outcomes (Information and Software Technology Years 7–10: Syllabus, 2003).

If the buttons are in a column, button 1 is the top one. Button 2 is the second one from the top, and so on.
The elements of this design include primary and secondary colors, implied horizontal and vertical line in each rectangle. In this design divided this poster into four parts that considered rectangle. From these four rectangles artist used one rectangle for typography and other three used for design. According to designers, the triangles in each rectangle created "MMX" shape. In the top-right rectangle, there is four triangles and each has different colors and each triangles in symmetrical than others. Among all these four triangles, three of them are in yellow, blue, and green color. In the next top left recta...
Let us now examine a number of perspectives that should be considered when designing software solutions. In most cases, these perspectives will have direct consequences to the design of the user interface.
Additionally, there are other online companies that compete against Google- including Facebook and Apple- thus placing it in a competitive market as opposed to a monopoly. In the Internet market, the barriers of entry are low, so it wouldn’t be very difficult for one to create their own search engine and essentially “compete” against Google. At once, Google was in its state of infancy, with competitors such as Microsoft and Yahoo, to which they eventually surpassed in terms of users. Google remains victor against its competitors by constantly changing and making updates to its products, thus attracting more consumers and making it unnecessary for the government to intervene. Google serves as the model for a “successful company” since it was born into a market in which there were two big competitors and it eventually surpassed them and bought out various Internet sites. If Google’s success was punished, other companies would be discouraged from growing and competing against other firms in this market since it will not be able to reach the success of Google without various anti-trust policy

The computer industry’s dependency on new programs and innovative software has led to the protection of intellectual property becoming a topic of fierce debate in the field. In the late 1980’s and early 1990’s, this issue spurred numerous lawsuits, thereby forcing the courts to set precedent and guidelines about how to prove copyright infringement of software. Many of these cases were in regards to copyright infringement of graphic user interfaces, or GUIs; which consist of the visual cues and representations seen through a particular program or software. GUIs, in essence, determine the “look and feel” of a program. The dilemma that the computer industry faced was how similar one interface has to be to another to constitute copyright infringement. The response to this dilemma would also serve as the response to other issues faced by the industry at the time: Should computers, similarly to automobiles, have a standard “dashboard” (a.k.a. GUI) to enable computers to be more efficiently used (Markoff)? What is the balance between the sharing of information that promotes innovation and the protection of intellectual property?
Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG, NASDAQ: GOOGL), is an international information technology pioneer that specializes in what way individuals access and interrelate with information over a wide variety of platforms. Google has changed a lot since it first started. In 1996 Google's creators, Larry Page and Sergey Brin made BackRub, the first version of Google. It was online for a year before they renamed it Google. The company continued to change after that by releasing Google Toolbar and Google AdWords in 2000, and in 2001 Google Groups. In 2001 the image search was released, and in 2002 Google News. In 2003 Google bought Pyra, the creators of Blogger, and released Google Book Search. Then, in 2005 Google Maps, Google Earth, Gmail and Google Talk were released. In 2006 Google acquired YouTube and SketchUp, and released Picasa, Google Docs, Google Financial, Google Calendar, and Google Trends. In 2007 the sky was featured in Google Earth, and Street View was introduced for a few cities in the U .S. Google Chrome was released in 2008 and 10 more languages were added to Google Translate, making the total of supported languages 23. The ocean began being shown in Google Earth in 2009, and the Nexus One smartphone was also released. Today, Google has many more projects than those listed and seems to want to expand into almost anything it can get its hands into.

Google is also well situated financially amongst the most profitable companies in the world with earnings nearly $50 billion and $11 billion profits. The company also boast of $48 billion in cash and just $7 billion of debt which makes them difficult to compete
My company project is on Google. The worlds most used and recognized search engines. Google founders are Larry Page and Sergey Brin two Stanford University students, in 1996 they built a search engine called BackRub, and at the time it used links to determine the importance of webpages. BackRub later turned into Google, although BackRub started in 1996 Google was registered as a domain on September 15th, 1997 and became incorporated on September 4th, 1998. Larry Page was actually a University of Michigan grad that was considering Stanford, and Sergey was his assigned tour guide. Google comes from the word “googol” which is a mathematical term for the number represented by the numeral 1 followed by 100 zeros. This was the name used to show Larry and Sergey’s mission to organize an infinite amount of information on the web. Google was based in Susan Wojcicki’s garage, and Google’s official first employ was Craig Silverstein. It’s main headquarters, better know as Googolplex is now located in Mountain View, California since 2004. Google today is located in more than forty countries around the world with more than seventy offices total. Larry Page was Google’s original CEO until 2001, but in April 2011 took up the title again, Eric Schmidt is the executive chairman today, and Andy Bechtolsheim was the first investor with a $100,000 check to Google before it was even considered a company.
Strength: Google is the leading company in search engine having more than 65 % of the market shares, making it extremely difficult for the competition to imitate or come close. Its capacity to engender user traffic produces a massive amount of information through the number of hits it gets, estimate per month of 100 billion, which provides information on consumers’ shopping habits, and it’s utilize to improve the tools used by users, provide what consumers need, and attract more users. In addition, it attracts recognize brands which brings the biggest revenue to the company, more that 90%, due to the popularity Google has. Google is also getting stronger with the introduction of Android as well as other mobile technologies that will help in the present and future increase of revenue from other venues. Moreover, its acquisition abilities, with a cash in excess estimate at 64 billion in 2015, gives Google the opportunity to buy more companies and increase its power and dominant in the market share as well as give them the advantage of continue

Google is a good work place and provides numerous work opportunities for people in diverse fields. Google has invested in several areas including advertisements, operating systems, sales, search, and hardware products. A significant proportion of Google’s income comes from making online advertisement. The company was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin while they were PhD at Stanford University. The two founders together own almost 16% of the company’s shares. It was primarily incorporated as a private company in the year 1998 before the IPO in the year 2004. The mission statement of the company was to organize the world’s information by making it globally accessible and useful. The rapid growth environment characterized by numerous competitive ventures has led the company into adopting a series of strategies involving the chain of products, acquisitions and partnership s that transcend the core function s of the company or the search engine. The company has product offerings in the likes
