text: Next question is how the parameter "this" refers the ActionListener only? Why not your own program object ButtonDemo, or a Frame or ActionEvent?
  You are right cent percent to think so. Then how to answer the above question. For the answer, we must refer the method signature of addActionListener() method as defined in Button class. Following is the one.
  Observe, the parameter must be an object of ActionListener. When we pass "this" to addActionListener() method, the JVM tries to convert "this" into an object of ActionListener because the method demands it. The JVM finds it, in the class declaration, after implements keyword and simply links btn to ActionListener. To have a proof, just remove "implements ActionListener" and compile the program, the program does not compile.
  The whole process can be put diagrammatically as follows.
  This type of event handling mechanism designed by the designers follows "Observer design pattern". The ActionListener observes always the button when it gets clicked. This type of event handling model is known as "delegation event model". In this model, responsibility of event handling is delegated (assigned) to listeners.
  very good explanation
  Hi sir how to execute the above program(ButtonDemo program) when i am executing it is giving this error “Exception in thread “main” java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main”
  sir,
  i am a student of computer science…. this website is more helpful and useful for me. because tomorow i have seminar about event handling in my class..so only…thank you sir.
  Easiest way of explanation..thanks alot sir ..sir if i start going through to your all the contents of java on this site..Is it enough to be a good java programmer ??

  Nice tutorial sir. I’s wondering if you could recommend us some of your particular favourite books of java.
  Thanks again for the tuto. I really appreciated it.
  Now-a-days, Internet is the best source of knowledge. So, don’t on depend on books. If you purchase one book today, tomorrow it will be obsolete. For example, if you purchase to day a Java text book, next month September, Java 8 is getting released. Then you purchase another book also.
  Tell your friends also to derive knowledge from this web site.
  sir, i want complete discussion on event handling??
  Yes, you can have.
  what does add statement do in above program??
  The add(btn); adds the button btn to the frame.

  Hi Sir,
  Your way of teaching is very good. it would be better for us , if you upload some your video tutorials on Java.
  Apache POI is missing in your website. Please provide some good understanding of java Apache POI . Thanks in advance.

  In the later half of April, I will place some videos in this web site. Advanced Java is not yet placed. Swing will be placed by April end.

  I think you are using JavaScript. See the methods of window object.
