Part 4. Writing a diagnostic application: the PC Repair Assistant

Having developed one realistic application, you’re ready to move on to something bigger. The application you’ll develop next includes both more knowledge and more features: It’s a PC Repair Assistant with a graphical interface. It’s meant to guide a technician through the process of diagnosing computer hardware problems.

In this part of the book, we’ll refine your understanding of engineering knowledge by introducing a new tool—flowcharting. The program you’ll write is much more sophisticated than the last one; it is multithreaded and uses Jess’s reflection capabilities to build a Swing-based graphical interface directly from a Jess script.
