Worked on GUI event-handling lab exercises all week:  a simple one for a chat room and a more complex one for an ATM for the ongoing Bank project (each lab exercise adds something to the Bank project using material that was covered in the most recent section of the tutorial).

I finished the second lab exercise creating GUI's, then went on to learn about event-handling.  Next week I'll add listeners and event-handling classes and methods to the GUI's I created in the last lab exercises.  Then I'll finish up the GUI section; the only section left after that is on threads and networking.

Finished the File I/O lab exercises, which taught me more about wrapping I/O classes to gain access to methods useful in certain situations, and I learned more about file structure along the way.  I'm now working on the GUI section.  So far, it's covered containers, components, and layout managers; and I've started on the methods commonly used when creating GUI's.
