Brand New Book on the NetBeans Platform
Another extremely significant moment in the lifecycle of the NetBeans Platform. This morning I received the German-language book NetBeans Platform 6: Rich-Client-Entwicklung mit Java, by Heiko Bock, which was published during the past month. As co-author of Rich Client Programming: Plugging into the NetBeans Platform, I can say without any hesitation that Heiko's book is better.
The book covers many areas of the NetBeans 6 APIs, such as the Visual Library API, areas that we didn't cover in our book because at the time those APIs did not exist yet or were not "official" yet. Also, the book progresses very systematically, with many diagrams, and lots and lots of code throughout.
Here are some pics to give you an impression of the book's look and feel:
In the back of the book you'll find a CD, with Examples (Beispiele), which are all self-contained NetBeans modules and NetBeans module suites, as well as all this:
If you want a sneak preview, of the introductions, the table of contents, one of the chapters, and the index, click here. I highly recommend this book, even if you don't understand German. You understand Java, don't you?
