Java Graphic and GUI - Applets Unit 2 Part 3 Lecture

A Java applet is a Java program that can be embedded into a web page. It runs inside the web browser and works at client side. An applet is embedded in an HTML page using the APPLET or OBJECT tag and hosted on a web server.
Applets are used to make the web site more dynamic and entertaining.

Important points :
2. Applets are not stand-alone programs. Instead, they run within either a web browser or an applet viewer.
3. JDK provides a standard applet viewer tool called applet viewer.
4. In general, execution of an applet does not begin at main() method.
