By now, you've undoubtedly heard the buzz about Java (and we're not talking coffee here). Java has the online world wired up with a fresh blend of technologies that brings the Web alive with dazzling animation, pulse-pounding sound, and full-blown interactivity...the likes of which the Web has never seen. And if cutting-edge Web technology isn't enough, Java is also becoming a strong contender for developing desktop applications as well.

Java For Dummies, 3rd Edition, uses plain-English explanations and tons of examples to unveil the fun and easy way to build your own state-of-the-art Web sites. Find the best sources for Java applets and full-featured Java applications on the Web; modify Java applets and applications without ever writing a line of code; and bring your Web projects to life with animation, music, marquees, and other way-cool multimedia tricks. The bonus CD-ROM that comes with Java For Dummies, 3rd Edition, features an up-to-date collection of the hippest applets, Java beans, and scripts, along with sample Web pages and plenty of tools for Mac and Windows users to upload, download, and compress those Java files.
