Running Time: 9:43

Episode Overview

Take a look at one makeover that’s more than skin-deep.

Sun Studio 12 boasts a boatload of new features, but in particular the new graphical IDE really stands out. Sun Studio is now a great development tool for command-line programmers and those who have never worked outside a GUI.

Hear from Sun staff engineer and project lead for Sun Studio IDE, Gordon Prieur, spotlights some of the most interesting aspects of the new IDE and talks about which types of developers stand to benefit the most.

Did you know that Sun Studio 12’s IDE is based on NetBeans 5.5.1, the free, open-source, and cross-platform IDE?.

Sun Studio has extended the power and flexibility of NetBeans by adding several powerful tools such as the dbx debugger and code assistance capabilities, including code completion and folding.

And for optimization, Sun Studio includes performance and thread analysis tools, all of which are accessible through the GUI.

If your a Windows developer, the NetBeans 5.5.1 with the C++ pack is a better fit. However, if you’re a Solaris or Linux developer, Sun Studio 12 is clearly the best choice. Sun Studio 12 is free, so what are you waiting for? Download it today.

Also in this episode, the Geek Gadget Guru fires up Havoc Heli, the AirHogs remote-controlled helicopter from Spin Master. Tune in to find why it’s not such a good idea to fly one in a television studio.

Coming up next, SDNtv will show you how to streamline your applications with a look at the performance and benchmarking features in Sun Studio 12.
