Java is the substance whose aroma is awakening the Internet community.
             It is a new programming language developed by Sun Microsystems that has
             much in common with the beverage that shares its name. It's good, it's
             hot, and people know it around the world. Java (the programming language)
             beats the other stuff hands down though, it's free. Many have heard of
             Java, yet few know what it is, or what it can do. It certainly has the
             potential to become a part of our everyday lives, existing in our mobile
             phones, televisions, and Internet browsers. If you are interested in your

             purpose. Designed in 1990 as an embedded language for consumer
             electronics, it was later discovered to be an ideal interface to the
             Internet. In 1996, Netscape added Java support to its popular Navigator
             Web browser. The Web began to stir from its static text coma as excited
             programmers began to incorporate Java applications, "applets", into their
             An applet is like an application, but it doesn't run stand-alone.
             An applet must adhere to a set of conventions that allows it to run within
             a Java-compatible browser. The technology is still evolving, and today,
             most Java applets are simple animations, or user interactions. The future
             is brighter, promising full-blown applications over the Internet; imagine
             using Microsoft Office from your television. For now, though, those who
             have experienced an applet may be left disappointed. A casual user is
             unlikely to be impressed with scrolling text, or simple animations,
             especially if they must pay for them with increased download times.
             Behind the scenes, unbeknownst to them, truly amazing things are
             A Java applet begins its life by being "called" by a Web page. To be
             technologically correct, the applet is embedded in the Web page. The Web
