Yesterday evening we had a webinar on the Netbeans 6.5 IDE.
The session was handled by David Botterill, the education technology manager for the student developer communities.
It was a wonderful presentation which provided an over view on the Capabilities of NetBeans 6.5 to handle technologies like PHP, Groovy and grails, and as usual the general Java/J2EE projects.
Well, the things that has amused me, include the code completion enhancement,performance monitoring, Http Client monitoring and the versatility to generate J2EE implementations.
The capability of Netbeans to generate Swing based GUI using Matisse was awesome. A wonderful feature indeed. Long back I used to spend hours building the GUI with "PROPER" alignment. Now its indeed an awesome enhancement.
I downloaded my copy yesterday and was playing around with various modules. I need to explore still in depth.
I strongly recommend you to go http://netbeans.tv , which provides an entire set of screencasts, which can get you started.
Yeah.. Of course. "NETBEANS IS THE ONLY IDE YOU NEED"..
Well, last week I was busy with my research project.
I will be presenting a detailed blog on our activities on SUN Wonderland and a brief tutorial on setting up an environment on a Ubuntu 8.10 Operating system.
Wishing you all a safe and wonderful thanksgiving.
