How to create Java applets?

Question

I am just stepping into Java and need help with some basic things. I want to create an applet. Where should I start?

Answer 1

Java教程通常是一个不错的起点。

Answer 2

Honestly - start with forgetting all about applets. Years ago, the applet was the warmup for Java tutorials, nowadays, you should start with 'applications' - classes that implement the main method.

Today people prefer Java Script or Java Web Start for web applications.

Answer 3

java tutorial is a great place to start.

are you sure you want to start with applets? they are outdated. I'd suggest you start with java application. it's simpler to understand java that way and then you can "go web" in more modern ways.

Answer 4

Why not download netbeans and take a look at the tutorials on www.netbeans.org.

Having the ide deal with build issues help you get to understand things quicker if your a newbie.
