This page explains changes in Java and the examples in the book as a result of an alpha to the pre-beta release available for Solaris. For more information on conversion, see the converting applets page from Sun.

Changes in Java from alpha to pre-beta

Sun provides a summary of these changes.

• In beta, the APPLET tag is used to include an applet in an HTML document; the alpha release uses the APP tag.
• In beta, there is a different set of keywords.

Changes in Book Examples

• I converted source code and examples shown in the book using the upgrade program that comes with the pre-beta release. You can see how I did this.
