5.2.1. Applet

Java applets allow small programs to be sent with web pages and run within browsers. Applets can perform interactive animations, calculations, or other simple tasks without requiring the user to send requests back to the server. Applets are supported by most browsers, are cached for quick loading, and improve with use as the Java Virtual Machine is already running. Developers can test and debug applets directly in their Java development environment before testing them within a browser.

5.2.1. APPLET An applet is a little application.

Prior to the World Wide Web, the built-in writing and drawing programs that came with windows were sometimes called APPLETS. On the web using Java the object oriented programming language, an applet is a small program that can be sent along with a web page to a user. Java applets can perform interactive animations, intermediate calculations or other simple tasks without having to send a user request back to the server. It is simple to make it work on a Linux, Microsoft Windows and Mac Os X i.e. to make it cross platform. Applets are supported by most web browsers.
Most web browser cache applets so will be quick to load when

returning to a web page. Applets also improve with use: after a first applet is run, the JVM is already running and starts quickly (The JVM will need to restart each time the browser start afresh). Developers can develop and debug an applet direct simply by creating a main routine(Either in the applets class or in a separate class) and calling init() and Start() on the applet, thus allowing for development in their favorite Java SE development environment. All one has to do after that is re-test the applet in the AppletViewer program or a web browser to ensure it conforms to security restrictions.
