Learning to use Applets

Hey guys,

I'd like to learn how to use applets, so I could spread programs of mine on the internet with my less tech-savvy friends who don't know what IDEs are and such. But before anything, do I need to know some HTML?

If I don't, could someone direct me to a good tutorial for applets? I looked on Sun's, and a few others, but none of them really make sense to me, as I don't know how invoke them in an HTML page.

Thanks,
+SS

You need a website, and a little html. I think you just have to put <applet>filename</applet> in the page's source. The file has to be on the server or accessible by the server.

Let me Google that for you.

All you have to do is use the HTML tag templates on those websites, and change the name of the Java class to yours.

Kay, I understand that, but does anyone have a good tutorial for applets? I have a few examples I've found searching the web, but none of them have good comments that would help me understand how they work >.<

Do you mean how to actually turn a program into an applet/create one as an applet?

Any of the two would be good, but I think creating one first would be easier to understand than converting existing programs.

This along with some examples from Google should be able to teach you about JApplets.

I hate to point it out, but in my first post I mentioned that I didn't understand Sun's tutorial. And I hope I'm not asking for too much, but instead of sarcasm, some actual help would be nice.

Thanks,
