2009: The Year of Documented Business Scenarios for the NetBeans Platform
The year is drawing to a close and plans for the coming year are being drafted. Personally, my main focus in the coming year in relation to the NetBeans Platform will be—documenting business scenarios for the NetBeans Platform. Up to this point, I've mainly been focused on writing tutorials that cover the main NetBeans APIs and, to a greater or lesser extent, a lot of that is complete, between the NetBeans Platform Tutorials and the NetBeans Developer FAQ, most things have at this stage been covered.
However, what many users are asking for is documentation describing how to optimally connect to a database, how to work with popular frameworks, such as Hibernate and JPA, from a NetBeans Platform application, and similar business scenarios. The issue that describes all these scenarios is this one:
http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=146402
Creating tutorials that cover those scenarios will be my main focus in the coming year, although this issue would be very helpful to me and to those using the tutorials that come out of it. So, 2009 will be the Year of Documented Business Scenarios for the NetBeans Platform.
If you have any insights to pass on or experiences to share, feel free to do so in that issue or in the comments to this blog entry.
