Synopsis

Writing Java Applets is the book that gives you the most in-depth, practical techniques for creating applets that sizzle! You'll learn how to create everything from a simple Web-page animation to a sophisticated "agent" applet that can go out and search the Net! In this book, you'll walk step-by-step through the process of applet development; find crisp coverage of the basics of Java programming; learn how to turn the Web inside out with a Java-based agent system controlled by a Java applet; discover how to add animation and special effects to your Java applets; create applets that work around the security limitations placed on them by Java; load images, applets, and classes across the Net; write threaded network communication applets; and see how browsers control applets, and how you can make the most efficient use of each browser's environment.
In Writing Java Applets, you'll learn the best of proven applet programming techniques. Combining the power of C++ with state-of-the-art extensions, Java is familiar to C++ programmers, yet is easier to learn and much safer for novices. Writing Java Applets introduces you to the Java language and takes you step by step through the creation and use of Java applets. Along the way you'll get a peek beyond applets into a world where independent Java classes traverse the Net by themselves.

About this title

Synopsis

Java applets are executables that can be run from within an HTML document instead of having to download the program and run it later with a special viewer of other program. This text with software will show how to master creating applets that will take advantage of the power of the World Wide Web. It presents the easy way to write executable Web content quickly and efficiently and gives a working, portable implementation of a HotJava application, suitable for building an actual information sales business. It tackles the issues of distributed programs and network security, and the issues surrounding agent development. The CD-ROM includes an agent-server application written entirely in Java, source code, applet writing tools, Java utilities and more.
