When making a GUI, does it matter whether you use 'content' or 'this'?
For Example:
content.add(b1);OR
this.add(b1);

'this' refers to the current object - whatever that object is. It could be anything.
'content' refers to whatever you defined it as. Most likely it's a Container ref obtained from getContentPane() somewhere in your program.
