Wednesday September 12, 2007 Native Mac Installer (2) and Weekly Java Passion
As a follow up to the Native Mac Installer Vs. Sensible NetBeans.app?: Seems the team now put the native Mac installer into a native .dmg file. (Which by the way stands for "disk image". Why do I always read "damaged"? Anyway.) The version of the beta installer I saw was still lacking a "customize" button (to pre-select packs), I hope they'll add it before FCS. The installer doesn't yet put a nice blue icecube icon in the dock either, oh well. (Hmm... NB5.0 = firecube, NB6.0 = icecube, world tour = earthcube, that leaves NB7.0 with... an aircube??)
And, did Geertjan mention it already? We now have a fabulous one-stop newsletter link! Bookmark it to read the weekly newsletter in your web browser; of course you can still sign subscribe to read nbweekly as sweet, short and well-designed weekly email). I'm just mentioning this new link because, when you scroll down to the bottom of this week's issue, it totally has my name on it! Because Tinu is on vacation, and it was I who clicked the Publish button, tee-hee.
If you missed Sang Shin in Boston at the University Day, check out his Java Passion programming classes. They are free online classes, this means you download and read the course material at your own pace, and hand in a weekly "homework"; there's also a mailing list to ask questions. Sang starts with basic Java SE, and then he just goes wild on Java EE and web frameworks. He even plans to add Java ME, Ruby on Rails, and Java FX classes in the near future. Worth a bookmark!
