GUI to ArrayList to File

[anistala]

Hi, I have rudimentary Java knowledge and experience but I am currently working on a program that requires the following:

I have created a Student object with 4 parameters: String firstName, String lastName, String pin, String description

I want to create a GUI which will prompt the user for each of those and will subsequently create a Student object. After several students input data, all of this should be placed in an ArrayList of Student objects. These should finally be written to a file.

I was just wondering whether this is practical, and if it is, how should I proceed forward (I will do the actual coding, I just need help with designing my program)

Thank you.

Sounds ok to me, but I'd consider saving each student after the data are entered. Imagine you've entered 20 students and a power cut or a BSOD occurs.
