Shows how to use applets, small programs created using the Java programming language, and includes samples

In Hooked on Java, members of Sun's Java development team show you everything you need to know to use Java applets effectively. These experts explain how applets work in clear, easy-to-follow language. Step by step, they demonstrate how to add Java applets to your Web site and how to configure them without programming.

You'll see how to incorporate several special effects in your Web pages with Java applets, including: animation bouncing and "nervous" text interactive programs, spreadsheets, and 3D viewers image maps that give direct feedback games and more. You'll also learn how to use the Java Developer's Kit, which lets you build new applets from scratch. Supported by both Netscape Navigator 2.0 and Sun's Hot Java Web browsers, Java applets are an essential part of a compelling Web site. The CD-ROM contains a wealth of cool Java applets ready to plug into your home pages, examples of HTML pages that are already Java-enabled, Java source code, the Java Developer's Kit for Windows® 95, Windows NT, Solaris 2.x, and online documentation.
