- From what I've seen and asked "experts" concerning Java, it is mainly
- a wonderful aid to WWW pages. It is a powerful language in which you
- could develop applications just as complicated, robust, and powerful
- as those you would develop in any other language, but its main
- intended use is for applets small enough to be downloaded to the
- client machine and then run (just as an HTML document is downloaded to
- your machine and then displayed). A payroll management application,
- for example, is too large to practically download each time.
-
- I guess down the road, since Java is machine independant, we may see
- large, complex apps written in Java and distributed normally (on
- CD-ROM, etc.). However, I don't think Java has evolved to this stage
- yet.
-
- Others, please correct me if I'm wrong.
