Where to Get Applets

If you need a customized applet for your site, your best bet is to hire a programmer to create one to your specifications. However, there are a number of applets available for free or for a licensing fee that you can download from libraries on the Web.

A good place to start is the applets section of Sun’s Java site at http://java.sun.com/applets/. This page provides a list of links to applet-related resources.

If you are looking for cool applets you can use right away, try the JavaBoutique at http://javaboutique.internet.com. Here you will find hundreds of applets available for download as well as clear instructions for their use. It’s a great way to add interactivity to your site without learning any programming.
