| In the offline
world this means coffee; in cyberspace, this is really a programming
language used to create cool things on webpages such as animation
and sounds. Java is a
programming language expressly designed for use in the distributed
environment of the Internet. It was designed to have the "look and
feel" of the C++ language, but it is simpler to use than C++ and
enforces an object-oriented programming model. Java can be used to
create complete applications that may run on a single computer or be
distributed among servers and clients in a network. It can also be
used to build a small application module or applet for use as part
of a Web page. Applets make it possible for a Web page user to
interact with the page. |
