Tài liệu J2EE Tutorial

When I returned to work in the fall of 1994, the company’s dynamic and vision
had completely changed. They had decided that the Oak language—with its ability
to produce platform-independent, secure, easily transported code—was ideal
for the Internet. And they were creating a Web browser called WebRunner that
showcased the ability to deliver Oak code, packaged in a form they called
applets, over the Internet.
I set to work writing a guide to help people write and use applets. When the
WebRunner browser was first released in early 1995, the guide was part of the
small set of documentation included with the browser. That guide was the granddaddy
of The J2EE™ Tutorial.
The guide was the first documentation to include applets. It looked somewhat
similar to The Java™ Tutorial, and in fact The Java™ Tutorial probably still has
some of the text originally published in the guide. Because we had no HTML
tools, however, I had to generate the guide completely by hand. Let me tell you,
hand coding navigation links for a document in progress is not fun, even for a
small document. Much less painful was making name changes: The language
name changed from Oak to Java™, and the name of the browser from WebRunner
to HotJava.
