New Internet technologies are appearing so fast it can be difficult keep track of them all. Here are just some of the technologies that we can use to give your website an edge.

Java Applets
If your browser supports Java Applets then you will have already seen them in action on our web page. Java is used to animate the appearance of the menu buttons and to highlight the buttons when necessary. If you also have a sound card you might have noticed that the applet plays a sound when you click on the buttons.

Macromedia Flash
This is a very cool system for doing web graphics and multimedia content. It relies on the users computer to render antialiased images and animations. Its only drawback is that the user must first download an ActiveX control or plugin to use it. This process is normally fairly painless and as Flash becomes more popular more and more people well already have it installed.

To see a Flash version of our site click here.  If you already have then you will notice that the menu now scales with the size of your browser window but maintains a nice antialiased appearance.  The buttons should also fly on in a slightly more interesting way.
