Bonn on the NetBeans Platform!
I spent a weekend in Bonn, Germany, with fellow trainers Anton (Toni) Epple from Eppleton and Aljoscha (Josh) Rittner from Sepix, giving a training organized by AureliusConsult, a student consultancy:
As always, there was a group picture near the end of the course, (this one taken by Toni which is why he isn't in it):
We covered the basic principles of the NetBeans Platform. Below you see Josh explaining the Nodes API:
And here's Toni talking about the Visual Library API:
AureliusConsult took us on a tour of Bonn and we had a fun dinner together:
The program for the two days was as follows:
Saturday
- Intro & Simple Port of Anagram Game (Geertjan) (PDF of slides)
- Window System (Part 1) (Toni)
- Window System (Part 2) (Toni)
- Nodes & Views (Josh) (PDF of slides) (related sample code)
- Workshop (Geertjan)
- Visual Library (Toni) (PDF of slides)
- Workshop (Toni)
- Lookup (Josh) (PDF of slides) (related sample code)
- Workshop (Geertjan)
- Wrap Up (all)
The course was yet another edition of the Community-Based NetBeans Platform Certified Training, which is offered for free to educational institutions and non-profit organizations. (Get at least 10 or so enthusiastic Java Swing programmers together and then write to users AT edu DOT netbeans DOT org and we'll figure out a way to get the course delivered to you.) The commercial version of the course is offered through NetBeans Platform for Desktop Java Development (DTJ-2601) by Sun Learning Services.
