Here are links to home sites for the applets discussed in Java Applets and Channels Without Programming.

Check links for licensing information with respect to applets not included on the CD-ROM. At the time of publication, the applets described in the book were free for non-commercial use. Things change, however.

When an applet name is "unlinked" it means that a web presence for the applet has not been available for quite some time. Moreover, many (or most) of the links listed here have gone out of service. Recall that Java Applets and Channels Without Programming appeared in the early days of Java applet development. As time passes, fewer and fewer of the applets described in the book are maintained on the Web by their authors. You may have luck finding current or new homes for some of these applets through various web search engines.

Readers who wish to ask questions, reports bugs, or submit usage hints should send mail to the Manning Publications webmaster.

    DESCRIPTION

    If you want to use Java to enhance your Web site, you have two choices: you can write the Java applet yourself or you can find an already written Java applet that meets your needs. If you prefer not to do the writing yourself, then Java Applets and Channels Without Programming is for you. It collects almost 100 applets on a CD with detailed instructions on how to use each applet. In addition, style issues are discussed in detail; not only will you learn how to use each applet, you will learn when and where it is appropriate to use each applet. The book also introduces the new concept of channels and shows how these can be used on your web site as well.

    The CD-ROM also contains an exclusive applet configuration utility, a program that allows you to configure the Java applets on the CD-ROM in a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) environment. When using the utility to configure Java applets, you do not need to know any Java programming or even any HTML programming. All you do is change the value of a parameter and click on a button to see the resulting change to the applet. The applet configuration utility is written in Java and runs in your browser, so it runs on any computer platform for which there is a Java-enabled browser.

    The CD-ROM also provides example web pages for more than 60 of the included applets, so you can learn how to use the applets in real-world situations.

    What's inside:

    • Easy introduction to Java
    • How Java applets work with your HTML code
    • Step-by-step instructions for using the applets on the CD-ROM
    • Step-by-step instructions for using dozens of other applets freely available on the Web

    The CD-ROM contains:

    • Nearly a hundred ready-to-run Java applets, each with sample code
    • The applet configuration utility
    • Fully-realized example web pages for more than 60 applets
    If you are not a programmer, if you don't have time to learn programming, why struggle to write applets on your own? Enhance your web site quickly and easily with Java Applets and Channels Without Programming.
