I did a seminar on Netbeans 6 on March 1st. I had not put up the photos.
During the seminar, I described what Netbeans is, and gave several demos of using Netbeans. I showed some of the new great features of the Netbeans 6 Java editor. I showed how to build a user interface quickly using Netbeans UI editor and how to bind UI component to actions, and to database tables. One of the nice features of Netbeans 6 is the collaboration module which allows the sharing and working of Netbeans projects with people remotely. Last, I showed how the profiler can be used to help improve code.
I had almost 30 students attending. They liked Netbeans. The problem is that this university does not teach Java in any of their required courses. To many of the students, Java is new. This makes it a little hard to adopt Netbeans. But I wanted them to know that Netbeans can also be used for the C/C++ class.
Some of the students had questions other than Netbeans 6. They were interested in JDBC and database connection. Overall, the talk went very well.
