Hello,
For a business plan I'm working on this weekend for an upcoming meeting
with a venture capitalist, I need answers to some questions. I'll start by
saying that I'm an experienced programmer, but have done no Internet
programming.
1) I need to send a stream of data which can be accessed simultaneously by
a java applet running on thousands of computers. I can't afford the
bandwidth to be in direct communication with each one. I understand there
is something called "broadcasting" which somehow allows the data to go out
over the Internet to a number of different locations at once. I think I
heard that some "radio" experiments on the Internet have worked that way.
My question is, is there some way I can do this with Java?
2) When a user is browsing my Web site, I want a java applet to keep
executing continuously as he moves from page to page -- I don't want to
have it re-downloaded every time he changes pages. Is that possible?
3) Is it possible for the applet I write to be downloaded to the user's
hard disk so that it can be run later, during another session, without
downloading it again?
Many thanks in advance for any help!!!
