	Programming with Java
	Including Java Applets on Your Web Pages

	The Java Language
	Java Applets

Java is a platform independent programming language, from Sun Microsystems. Java provides a powerful new set of tools, with which developers can create Internet and non- Internet based applications. Java has more features than any other programming language.

Java is an object-oriented programming language (OOPS) similar to C++. Unlike C++, however, Java was designed with one unique capability. Java was designed so that you can write a program once and have it run on different computer platforms. Java programs are complied into a special form (called "bytecode"), which create cross-platform executable files.

Features of JAVA

	Java is an Object Oriented language.
	Java applications are portable across multiple platforms.
	Java applications are robust. Since, Java run-time system manages memory for you.
	Java run-time system has built-in protection against viruses and tampering.
	Java provides a highly dynamic run time environment.
	Java supports multi-threading concept.

A Java applet is a program that can be included inside an HTML page. Much of Java's popularity has come because of Java capable World Wide Web (WWW) browsers and their support for applets. Applet is a small program that can reside in a Web page and can be used to create dynamic, interactive Web designs and it is used to extend capabilities of the web browser. Applets are written in Java language and it can be viewed in any browser that supports Java. Java applets are more security-conscious than Java applications. There are many restrictions on the behavior of applets. A Java applet requires a browser or applet viewer to run.

Example :

import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;

public class Firstapp extends Applet
{
public void paint(Graphics g)
{
    String s=getParameter("Employee Name");
    String s1=getParameter("Employee ID");
    g.drawString(empnm,5,40);
    g.drawString(empid,5,60);
}
}
