Mobility Docs Backstage Pass
NetBeans TV = infotainment for Java geeks :)
Many people have been asking on the NetBeans mailing lists and other message boards "why should I bother to upgrade to NetBeans 6.0?" A valid question given how much larger the installer files are this release. The next time you're eating lunch at your desk, or looking for a justifiable form of procrastination (gee, we never do that around here :), check out the NetBeans video tutorials that demonstrate new features in the IDE. Of particular interest to Java ME developers is Gregg Sporar's Using the Visual Mobile Designer and Connecting Mobile Apps to Web Services screencast. Definitely worth a look if you're wondering why people get excited about how easy it is to create mobile applications using the VMD. If you want a comprehensive run down of everything the Mobility team packed into the 6.0 release, take a look at the New and Noteworthy wiki page for Mobility 6.0 that covers all of the new features. You have to download and try the IDE to truly appreciate how easy it is to create and deploy projects. Not sure where t begin? No worries, check out the sample applications available in Netbeans to get you off and running.

NetBeans 6.0 Unleashed!
After months of non-stop effort by everyone involved, NetBeans IDE 6.0 is available today. The Mobility pack has many new features , including the latest version of the Sun Java Wireless Toolkit for both the Windows and Linux platforms.
Check out the new and updated tutorials for Mobility. The good news is that we have more on the way as there is a lot of useful features to write about in this version. So while the heavy lifting may be done, there is still more work to be completed before we break for winter holiday here in Prague.
If you're new to Java ME development, try the MIDP/CLDC Quickstart Guide or have a look at the NetBeans Mobility Learning Trail and tell us what you think. We are planning to make changes to both the MIDP and CDC Quickstart guides in the coming months, breaking them into smaller sections as well as adding new sections. Your feedback is definitely needed for us to continue producing relevant and useful tutorials. So download NetBeans 6.0 and start creating applications today!
