Java Software
| Java (tm) is a simple, robust, dynamic, multi-threaded, general-purpose, object-oriented, platform-independent programming environment, created and developed by Sun Microsystems. Developers can write custom mini-applications called applets, which will provide Internet sites with a huge range of new functionality: animation, live updating, two-way interaction, and more. When integrated into Web pages, Java applets allow expert graphics rendering, real-time interaction with users, live information updating, and instant interaction with servers over the network. Java applets are downloadable from any server and run safely on any platform. Java applets allow cross-platform programmability and can be embedded right into HTML pages. |

Web Page Databases
by Diana Luckevich and Michael Luckevich. | Web page databases provide a simple, inexpensive and effective tool for query and reporting of data on a web page. These databases offer an alternative to client/server databases and HTML lists or tables. A web page database is an interactive system used to search, sort and display records. These systems provide small screen footprints, fast response time and a technique to reduce web server processing. |
