Table of Contents for NetBeans Platform Book
We're wrapping up the oft-mentioned NetBeans Platform book ("Rich Client Programming - Plugging into the NetBeans Platform") right now. Our deadline for handing off to the publisher is today. And we're definitely going to make it (although this is where I'm supposed to knock on wood to prevent all our files evaporating into thin air). Here, after much discussion, is the "final" table of contents, exactly as we're going to communicate it to the publisher:
