Synopsis

Java language is popular and developers want to take advantage of all the new capabilities offered by Java. This book describes how to create Java enhanced Web pages by including animation, games and other interactive content. The book begins by describing how to download Java from the Internet along with easy-to-follow configuration instructions from e-mail. Java language not only helps developers create enhanced Web pages, but can also be used as a general purpose language for stand-alone non-Internet programming. In this text, users will find out about data types and the basics of object-oriented programming. Users will find out how to make the jump from HTML to programming in Java and the enclosed CD should make this task even simpler by enabling the reader to download all the sample code from the book on to their PCs.
