NPAC DHTML Examples
So Java is a good low level tool and how you program your stock market simulation downloaded from the online broker
However dynamical HTML and JavaScript is becoming preferred method of client implementations
Use JavaScript to manipulate "components of documents" and Java to do arithmetic
  • e.g. suppose you want to make your site accessible to blind. Then JavaScript identifies document components and hands text nuggets to Java voice synthesizer and image to fancy captioning system
As world develops HTML + JavaScript will become XML and HTML -- both with JavaScript to capture dynamic issues
On Server, Java always wins (unless you use C++ for performance)
