A First Java Program

We start by writing what is called a Java applet. This is a form of a Java program that can be embedded in a HTML document and accessed from the web. An example HTML document that calls our example applet is shown below:

		<HTML>
		<HEAD>
		<TITLE>Demo Applet</TITLE>
		</HEAD>
		<BODY>

		<H1>Demo Applet</H1>
		<P>My favorite class is 6.837</P>
		<HR>
		<CENTER>
		<APPLET code="Demo.class" width=200 height=200>
		</APPLET>
		</CENTER>
		<HR>
		</BODY>
		</HTML>
	
    The highlighted lines add the Java code to our document. Notice the .class extension. All Java source code files should end with a .java extension. The source is here.
