Let me pull out some thumbworn books I have in my library. [list=1][*]"The Java Tutorial, Object-Oriented Programming for the Internet" by Mary Campione and Kathy Walrath.[*]"The Java Programming Language" by Ken Arnold and James Gosling[*]"Teach yourself Java in 21 Days" by Laura Lemay and Charles L. Perkins[*]"Using HTML 3.2, JAVA 1.1 and CGI" by Eric Ladd and Jim O'Donnell[/list=1]
They all have some things in common, which is the reason I mention them. Not only were they all published in 1996, but I purchased them at the same time in April of '97.

And what does that prove? Just because you don't have the foresight to prepare yourself, doesn't mean others are as ill-equipped.

Oh, and in answer to your question, the kind of Java programming we were doing then was called "applets". Look it up if you really want to sound like you know what you're talking about.
