Educational Java Applet Service (JAS.eng.buffalo.edu) provides a collection of educational applet programs and associated educational materials (such as exercise and quiz questions, tutorials, etc.) in the area of solid state materials and devices.

Three layers of re-usable software components (or objects) may be considered. The three layers are (1) solid-state API for Java programmers; (2) solid-state JavaBeans for application developers; and (3) solid-state applets for educators and trainers. We  focused on the solid-state API and the solid-state applets. The JavaBeans layer was not part of our effort.

The solid state applets may be reused by educators in writing their html pages, presentation materials, homework materials, or quizzes. The solid state library classes are reused in writing the solid state applets (or applications). This is done by programmers who are familiar with the Java programming language and the object-oriented programming concepts. The solid state API is for our own use in writing the solid-state applet programs.   A version of a software development Framework (a Framework captures reusable architechural designs and the reusable Java components into an organized applet development context) was also attempted.  A Framework adds reusable designs to the reusable components of object-oriented software.  The design reusability seemed to be a good and effective way of writing many programs in a given application domain.
