An applet is a little application. Prior to the World
Wide Web, the built-in writing and drawing programs that came with Windows
were sometimes called "applets." On the Web, using Java, the
object-oriented programming language, an applet is a small program that
can be sent along with a Web page to a user. Java applets can perform
interactive animations, immediate calculations, or other simple tasks
without having to send a user request back to the server.
