NetBeans 6 talk on FIB
Just to summarize on the first sentence of this post:
I'm happy with today's NetBeans 6 tech talk :)
This nearly 1h talk was quite rewarding, people were interested on the NetBeans features for their current work (they're undergoing a programming project this semester: PROP).
I happen to have done this same project on the past course, so I managed to mix the demonstration about NetBeans features with my own past experience on the subject: suggesting ways to work using Developer Collaboration, VCS's, Swing GUI builder, etc...
I found really surprising the fact that there's still lots of students that do not use a VCS for their programming projects... IMHO, it's crucial to use it to be productive in a collaborative project, isn't it ?
At the end I asked how many of them were gonna make the switch from Eclipse or others to NetBeans and there were lots of raised hands there :)
In addition, I submitted a poll on the faculty forum asking about the preferred IDE to work with. They're still many people using Eclipse (more than NetBeans):
*UPDATE*: Here are the slides
| IDE | usage percent | votes |
|---|---|---|
| NetBeans | 14% | [ 12 ] |
| Eclipse | 32% | [ 27 ] |
| Emacs | 1% | [ 1 ] |
| Vim | 18% | [ 15 ] |
| UltraEdit, ed, jedit, notepad, textmate... (others) | 35% | [ 29 ] |
