Travel and Tourist Management System in Java - Lecture Notes

Introduction

• Welcome to the Travel and Tourist Management System Java project series.
• This video tutorial covers setting up the project environment and creating an initial splash screen in Java.

Tools and Software

• IDE Options: Eclipse, IntelliJ, Visual Studio Code
  • This tutorial uses NetBeans 13.
• Java Development Kit (JDK 17)
  • If you don’t have it installed, download JDK 17.
• MySQL for database management
  • Tools: MySQL Workbench, WampServer, XAMPP, MySQL Shell, MySQL Command Line Client
• NetBeans Setup
  • Click on the yellow button to create a new project: Travel Management System
  • Navigate through file creation (source package, main file name, etc.)

Creating the Initial Splash Screen

• Package Structure
  • Define the package name correctly to avoid errors.
  • Syntax: package travelmanagementsystem;
• Creating a Class in Java
  • Use the class keyword.
  • Example: public class Splash {}
• Basic Method in Java
  • Example: public static void main(String[] args) {}
• Frame Creation
  • Use NetBeans to create a JFrame for the application splash screen.
  • Basic setup: setSize, setLocation, setVisible
• Adding the Image Icon
  • Load images using ImageIcon class and place them on the JFrame.
  • Handle scaling: Use AWT package for Image class and getScaledInstance() method.

Coding Dynamic Frames

• Dynamic Frame Resizing
  • Use a for-loop to change the frame size and location incrementally.
  • Incorporate sleep delays (Thread.sleep) to create smooth animations.
• Multi-threading Concepts
  • Implement Runnable Interface for creating threads.
  • Override the run method.
  • Start threads using Thread class.
• Clean Up Code
  • Proper use of try-catch blocks for managing threads and sleep methods.
  • Dynamically setting the frame size and centering it properly.

Next Steps

• Future Enhancements
  • Adding login functionality.
  • Integrating MySQL connectivity.
