Goal List
1. Research in detail the structure of nodes in Java. DUE: 9/17 2. Complete 2D Graphics Tutorial. DUE: 9/27 3. Finish research, in its entirety, to make it possible to graphically represent nodes. DUE: 10/1 4. Graphically represent a single empty node. DUE: 10/5 5. Graphically link together empty nodes. DUE: 10/12 6. Control the layout of nodes based on the dimensions of the window they are in. DUE: 10/14 7. Graphically link together a set of empty nodes within the bounds of the window. DUE: 10/18 8. Graphically display the information a node contains. DUE: 10/22 9. Graphically display a given set of nodes, including the data they contain, inside the bounds of the window. DUE: 10/28 10. Organize all methods into a file that can be used to illustrate how nodes work. This file can be used by any student as they create their own nodes. DUE: 11/1
