Java Applets
Have you ever made one?
What is it?
Well … according to Wikipedia … http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_applet …
A Java applet is an applet delivered to users in the form of Java bytecode. Java applets can be part of a web page and executed by the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) in a process separate from the web browser, or run in Sun’s AppletViewer, a stand-alone tool for testing applets. Java applets were introduced in the first version of the Java language in 1995, and are written in programming languages that compile to Java bytecode, usually in Java, but also in other languages such as Jython,[8] JRuby,[9] or Eiffel (via SmartEiffel).[10]
Our tutorial here builds on Java Applet Primer Tutorial shown below.
And here is some downloadable programming Java Applet source code you should rename to MyTutorial.java as you require.
For this tutorial I liked the advice of Java Made Simple by Peter K McBride (Made Simple Books).
In this tutorial we simulate a large part of the tutorial Xcode Ruby Desktop Application Primer Tutorial and add some quite unusual sound effects not due to being any kind of hit, because I am too far away from any of you to hit?! So enjoy the live action tutorial.

Link to Java “spiritual home” … via Oracle and Sun, includes talk about (the recent) Java, and about download options.
Link to Java Applet game … Draw Poker game … some of personal programming experience.
Another slightly more obscure link … hope too much Applet development doesn’t result in … OMG!

For me, it was like the first feeling that you have compiled something onto the Web … another feeling you get like this is when you build an ASP.Net website … guess it was the same for ASP developers. What you compile is a Java class, which in our Primer Tutorial’s case will be called by a pretty simple piece of HTML.
Anyway, could be wrong, but see this as a precursor to the idea of a Web Application and using Web Services and even to today’s mobile phone apps.
Increasingly, alas, the support for Applets is dwindling, if my experience with Google Chrome and Java Applets is typical, but that doesn’t mean creating one doesn’t teach you a lot, even so far as learning about Java goes.
In this primer tutorial we will just do Hello World via XCode Java on a Mac laptop.
