|
| This course is for anyone who wants to learn AJAX for the first time or
|
| increase their knowledge on AJAX. In this 10-week course, students
|
| learn basic concept of AJAX as well as how to use various AJAX
|
| frameworks and toolkits such as Dojo toolkit, jMaki, Google Web Toolkit,

| New Integration of Java EE 5 BluePrints with NetBeans 5.5
|
| The Java EE 5 BluePrints Solutions Catalog will be available as part of
|
| NetBeans 5.5 Beta 2. This supplements the J2EE 1.4 BluePrints Solutions
|
| Catalog which is already a standard part of NetBeans 5. The BluePrints
|
| Solutions catalog are part of the Help menu. The BluePrints projects
|
| can be created from the New Project Wizard. There are three new
|
| categories in the Java EE 5 catalog:
|
| * AJAX development with Java EE
|
| * Guidelines for using the new Java EE 5 Persistence API.
|
| * AJAX components: components ready to be used by your application.
|
| More details on the BluePrints Solutions Catalog and a stand-alone
|
| version can be found here:

|
| Applets and JAX-WS Web Services
|
| JAX-WS is the new approach to web services in Java EE 5. A lot has
|
| already been said about it, how it radically simplifies web service
|
| development by replacing deployment descriptors with annotations and
|
| removing a lot of the more complex files and boilerplate code. However,
|
| did you know that you can even integrate JAX-WS within applets? And
|
| that, with NetBeans IDE 5.5, you need provide only ONE line of Java
|
| code to create a very powerful, robust, JAX-WS client? All the rest is
|
| done by NetBeans. Read about it in Geertjan's blog:
|
| <<a href="http://services.netbeans.org/newsletter/story.php?id=630">http://services.netbeans.org/newsletter/story.php?id=630</a>>
|
|
|
| How Secure Is Your Web Service?
|
| In NetBeans IDE 5.5, a major focus is on security. In the past, you had
|
| to configure security yourself, by hand. In NetBeans IDE 5.5, the IDE
|
| helps you out. A full end to end scenario, including the impact of the
|
| WSIT functionality (i.e., the "Tango" functionality for
|
| interoperability with Microsoft's .Net web services) is provided here:

|
| Surround With... Sandip!
|
| Sandip's very popular Code Template Tools module has been updated
|
| again. You can now surround with even better than before! Check it out

|
| Write Scripts in NetBeans IDE!
|
| The Sun technology evangelist Chuk Munn Lee, who earlier provided a
|
| module that integrates Star Office into NetBeans IDE, is working on a
|
| script module. You can actually already download it and see what it
|
| does for you. Go here to his blog for details:

|
| New NetBeans-Based Open Source Project
|
| You too can generate MIDI files! And compose music by drag-and-dropping!
|
| And you can now even contribute to the code. Based on the JFugue API
|
| (<<a href="http://www.jfugue.org),">http://www.jfugue.org),</a>> the JFugue Music NotePad provides a very
|
| simple interface for generating, playing, and saving JFugue music
|
| strings. Check it out on dev.java.net:

|
| Inversion of Control and NetBeans TopComponents
|
| "I am fooling around with how to best decouple our NetBeans
|
| TopComponents with connections to services we have written," writes Bo,
|
| in his blog. "I decided to go with an injection pattern for now using
|
| annotations." Read all about it here:

| VIM and NetBeans IDE?

| Many users have asked for VI key binding support in NetBeans IDE. Did
|

|
| significantly to the NetCAT 5.5 program. "If I was a carpenter,
|
| NetBeans would be my hammer!" he says, "If I can contribute to getting
