OSUM Bean Day a success!
Anit Khandelwal of the Swami Keshvanand Institute of Technology, Management & Gramothan, Jaipur recently helped organize a seminar on Java with NetBeans called “OSUM Bean Day.”
The featured speaker was Mr. Srinidhi Nirgunda of Sun Microsystems, who was on campus on April 17. He presented to a group of more than 450 students from seven universities who attended the event. Anit reports that students were enthusiastic to learn about the different open source technologies of Sun Microsystems such as OpenSolaris, NetBeans, OpenOffice.org, Glassfish and JavaME among others.
Among the highlights Anit says: “He explained a very interactive example of using NetBeans for the development of the Desktop Application without even writing a single line of code and only using the drag n drop options. Thus using Netbeans it has become much easier to develop very complex applications very easily.”
He continued, saying that Netbeans is, “the only IDE you need! Runs on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X and Solaris. NetBeans IDE is open-source and free.”
Students in attendance also learned about OSUM, which is where I found Anit's blog.
I am looking for more blogs on OSUM from students and Ambassadors to highlight here on blogs.sun.com/students, so keep writing and checking back for more!
