15 Apr 2008 : Cool New Developments for Java on the Web 
We are poised for a renaissance of Java on the World Wide Web. With
the release of Java SE 6 Update 10, applets will once again become a
viable deployment vehicle. A fusion of applet and Java Web Start
technology makes applets as powerful as desktop applications. New
extensions for JavaFX technology can immediately and transparently be
deployed into applets on a web page. Advanced visualization technology
like NASA's World Wind Java can be embedded in a web page and scripted
from JavaScript. This talk will show some of the possibilities for
applet deployments today, with plenty of examples.
