I just read a post titled - ��� ��� ���� �� ��� ����� -- Java Applets = Stupid Design ������� ���� ����� = ��� . The actual contention was - ���� ������ ������� --

My example would have been web pages that are written entirely as Java applets. ���� ���� ��� ��� �� ����� ����� ���� �� ������ ����� ��� ������� ����. HORRID! ����!

I can see web applications designed entirely as applet as very appropriate. ������ �� ��� ����� ��������� ������� ����� ��� ����� ��� ����� ���. Several web applications have been successfully (in business) made that way. ������ �� ��������� ������� � ��� ���� (�� �������) ���� ���� ���� �������. Like the author I too do not see much reason for designing a website solely using applet, unless the designer wants to provide unique user intreractivity experience which he cannot achieve to his satisfaction with a mixture of html and applets. ��� ���� ������ ���� ���� �� ��� �� ���� ������ ���� ��� ���� �������� ��� �������� ����� � �� �� ��� ���� ���� ������ ����� ����� �� ����� intreractivity �������� ���� �� ���� �� ���� ������� ��� ���� �� ��� ����� ���� ������ ��������. Personally I prefer to use the best tools for the job without any bias and in this case that translates to a mixture of html and applets, provided I need the specific capabilities of an applet over html + ajax based designs. ���� ���� ����� ��� ������� ���� ������� ������� ������ ���� ����� �� ��� �� ���� ��� ��� ������ �� ����� ��� ���� �� ��� ����� ���� ������ �������� � ����� ��� ����� ��� ������� ������� �� ���� ���� �� ��� ����� ���� ������ ����� ���� ������ + �����.

The reason for my strong comment was because the title was too strongly worded in denouncing applets as a whole. ���� ������� ������ ��� ������� ��� ����� ��� �� ������� ���� ������ ������� ���. The actual content was more specific. ������� ������ ��� ���� ������.

I think applets suffered bad rap particularly due to ignorant coverage in popular media, not due to technological demerits. ������ ������� ����� ��� ����� ��� ���� ���� ���� �� ����� ����� ������� ������� � ���� ���� ���� �����������. I can bet applets will make a comeback with wider usage of broadband. ������� �� ������ ������� ��� ���� ������ �� ������ �� ������� ������ ������. The technology is far from dead. ����������� �� ���� �� ���� �� �����. Mark my words. ����� ������.
