Shild's book, Java 8 for Beginners , deals with the creation of applets a couple of times by various means. Isn't now, these applets are not supplanted by JavaScript ? In other words, is there any sense to delve into this area, or is it worth exploring for general development?

    Not.

    As far as I know, modern browsers do not support applets (without special shamanism).

      Since 2015, many browsers have stopped supporting applets. Since September 2017, Oracle has declared the technology obsolete. Most likely, in 2019 it will be completely removed from Java.
