20.8. Wrap-Up
In this chapter, you learned the fundamentals of Java applets. You leaned basic HTML concepts that allowed you to embed an applet in a web page and execute the applet in an applet container such as the appletviewer or a web browser. In addition, you learned the five methods that are called automatically by the applet container during an applet’s life cycle. In the next chapter, you will see several additional applets as we present basic multimedia capabilities. In Chapter 23, Multithreading, you will see an applet with start and stop methods that are used to control multiple threads of execution. In Chapter 24, Networking, we demonstrate how to customize an applet via parameters that are specified in an applet HTML element.
