Applet Programming
Applets, as Panels, conform to what was discussed about GUI programming in Chapter 8. This means you can add components to an applet, set the layout manager, add event listeners, and process user interaction. Yet, there are some things that applets are particularly good at, such as displaying images. The remainder of the chapter is devoted to showing how to code applets.
