This lesson will illustrate the use of structured templates to produce a 'stub' Java applet just like the program from tutorial 3. We will then continue to add some additional functionality by using a template that follows a particular (user defined) coding framework.
In Tutorial 3, VFC built a program in 'C' and gave it a name. This is a useful way to start a coding project, yet templates can also modify code. A more advanced text on VFC will provide details on the template programming language. For now, this lesson illustrates the utility of structured templates in Java, but remember that they can apply to any language domain.
