In this first assignment you will exploit Java’s universal “write-once-run-anywhere” feature by using a Java Applet for your Health Care Services Project. Applets are Java’s Web-based, client-side application technology, capable of running in any Java-enabled browser.

This assignment requires that you build a GUI using the Java Swing toolkit, which enables you to produce a GUI quite quickly and easily. You should spend some time thinking about the types of GUI elements that you will use before you begin coding (read the overall project description and think about future GUI requirements). While much of your input will be obtained using text input fields, consider the use of other elements such as drop-down lists for standard inputs. You should also consider the overall look-and-feel of your GUI. We want to see polished GUIs, rather than disorganized GUI elements without a general cohesiveness.
