Operating System
Minimum requirements for all systems (PC and Mac)
Java is a small program that runs either within a browser or as a separate program. Applets are usually written in Java.
They differ from applications in that they can be written with restricted functionality, which is designed to protect the user's machine from faulty or malicious code. The restrictions include the inability to write to the user's hard disk or execute operating system functions.
The applets are downloaded from Web sites along with the web page in which it was embedded. They are typically used to provide a more advanced user interface than HTML.
HTML stands for HyperText Mark-up Language.
This is a standard language made for typesetting content on a web page. Included in the language are provisions for including pictures and links to other pages.
