this is probably a stupid questin but i know C++ and i even wrote a small 3D game for it but i dont know no anything about Java , do i have to ahve a compiler or something or can i put it on my Geocities web site or what, thanks

Well, you''ll definitely need a compiler (you can pick one up at Here). And when you compile your applet, you can put it anywhere you want on a website, just make sure that your applet doesn''t ask for information/data from any other system other than the server it''s running on. - Applets are not allowed to communicate with remote computers/databases due to possible security issues.

Hi there,

If you're wanting to write Java programs all you need to get started is Notepad and the Java Development Kit (JDK).
Head on over to: http://www.javasoft.com to get your hands on a copy of the latest kit (1.4)
They also have a good tutorial series on there too.

Hope this helps,
