Microsoft continued its push to help acclimate academic computer science programs to its .NET Framework Thursday with a user interface that helps teachers and students use their Java-based curriculum with Visual Studio .NET 2003.
The Microsoft Supplemental User Interface (UI) Library for Visual J# .NET functions somewhat like the 2 JFC Swing specification, a family of Java class libraries provided as part of J2SE to support building graphical user interfaces (GUIs) and graphics functionality for Java applications.
The Redmond, Wash.-based software giant said it hopes the UI will make it easier for teachers to use curricula based on Swing, with the addition of textbook examples with Visual Studio .NET 2003 and the Microsoft .NET Framework.
