Document Summary

Applets: a java program that is intended to be embedded into an html documented, transported across a network, & executed using a web browser. The first kind of executable program that could be retrieved using web software. Considered just another type of media that can be exchanged across the web. Generally intended to be transported across a network: but, they can be viewed locally using a web browser, they don"t have to be executed through a web browser at all. Appleviewer: can be used to interpret & execute an applet: the point of making a java applet is to provide a link to it on a web page. Java byte code (not the java source code) is linked to an html document. & sent across the web: a version of the java interpreter embedded into a web browser is used to execute the applet once it reaches its destination.
