How should you integrate Java into your organization?

General tips for using Java:

1. Keep your applications small and experimental for now

2. Always keep applets small

3. Wait 6-8 months for more stability before starting large projects

4. Also, wait for a good source-level debugger and development environment

5. Within a year, use it for on-line services delivered to the public via the Internet

6. Eventually it might be good enough to replace most C++ work and become the dominant language

   But maybe not!

How developers (should) work with Java

• Perform Object-Oriented Analysis
• Perform Object-Oriented Design
• Implement
  • Write a file for each class

  • Compile and debug

  • For applets: Write `html' code that causes the applet to be loaded and run
• Test thoroughly with a variety of browsers and/or platforms
