> Take a break -- have a cup of steaming hot java.

> ## What next?

> Once you've caught your breath, you have several choices of where to go next. You can go to the tutorial's front page or to the Trail Map to see all of your choices, or you can go directly to one of the following related trails:

> Putting It All Together: The BINGO example in this trail is comprised of two programs, a client and a server, which communicate using multicast sockets.

> Writing Applets: For information about writing applets that use the network, go to the Writing Applets trail. Particularly, check out Working with a Server-Side Application.

> IDL: IDL provides a way for Java programs to communicate with other programs written in any language that supports CORBA.

> RMI: RMI is a Java-to-Java alternative to IDL for writing client/server programs.

> Servlets: Consider implementing your program as a servlet, if it extends the functionality of a server.

> Security in JDK 1.2: When writing programs that communicate, you need to understand the security implications. If you're still using JDK 1.1, refer to Security in JDK 1.1 instead.

> JDBC Database Access: This trail shows you how to access a database from Java programs.
