NEW! VWP Database Tree Tutorial

Hi all,

The Database Tree tutorial has arrived. The newest member of the Visual Web Pack family arrived on NetBeans.org Saturday at 11.53 a.m. Central European Time. Writer and Tutorial are both doing fine, just a little tired from the staging.

The Database Tree tutorial is definitely something you'll want to check out. You can find it here. The tutorial teaches you how to dynamically build a tree structure from data in a database. Using NetBeans Visual Web Pack 5.5, you build a two-page application, the first page of which includes a Tree component. You populate the first-level nodes in the Tree with names from a database, and the second-level nodes with the trips for that person. The trip nodes are links to a second page, which displays the details for that trip. If you think all of this sounds interesting, you're right. Give it a whirl!

The tutorial contains a lot of Visual Web features: Drag and Drop, Query Editor, Data Binding, and Page Navigation. When you're finished, you have a neat little application that look likes this:

And when you choose a trip from the tree, a second page opens displaying the details.

Let me know what you think.
