Java started off as being a client side language - and our first (1996) course concentrated on Applets and the awt - Abstract Windowing Toolkit - to which Swing was added quite soon. But Applets took off slowly, whereas Servlets - Java as a server side language - grew by leaps and bounds and our courses became much more focused on that market. "If you find a Java course that's covering Applets to the exclusion of Servlets, it's a fair bet that it is OLD" I have said.


However - there are exceptions. Applets have not gone away - they've been swamped by Servlets (and JSPs and Struts and Spring ...) but they're still around, and it was a pleasant change for these last couple of days to be back with a graphing applet that I wrote a long time ago ... but is still just as effective.



The HTML page of my demo is in a file called starling.html and the source of the Java class is in here. I've got it all compiled up / loaded on our server and if you have a Java Plugin that's reasonably recent, you can run it here.
