|
| Building Apps with the NetBeans Platform and Java EE 5
|
| In this demo, Roman Strobl builds a Java EE 5 application on the
|
| NetBeans Platform. He covers the Java Persistence API and JAX-WS 2.0
|
| web services, creates a Swing GUI, and converts the client into a
|
| NetBeans Module so it can be distributed as a platform application.

|
| Packaging and Deploying Desktop Java Applications
|
| One question that a lot of beginning programmers have is: "How do I
|
| distribute this application to other users without having to give them
|
| the whole IDE as well?" Max Sauer and Patrick Keegan will show a few
|
| different approaches for deploying an application, so that users can
|
| access the application by double-clicking the application's Java
|
| Archive (JAR) file, calling the application from the command line, or
|
| calling the application from a script file.

| The Open University: Teaching Java Through NetBeans!
|
| "You will apply and extend your understanding of object-orientated
|
| technology and of Java, and will implement code using NetBeans, a
|
| widely used integrated development environment from Sun Microsystems,"
|
| states the description of the Open University's "Software Development
|
| with Java" course, which runs from February 2007 to October 2007. Read
|
| all about the course and please let us know if you hear about other
|
| courses (anywhere in the world) that make use of NetBeans. Thanks Troy
|
| Giunipero, from Prague, for letting us know about this one!

| The Joy of Generics
|
| Tim Boudreau writes, "Okay, Generics are old news. But since NetBeans
|
| was still targeting JDK 1.4 until a few months ago, and most of my
|
| coding is NetBeans plug-ins, I'm just starting to really appreciate
|
| them. In particular, I'm finding they have a very nice effect on the
|
| things I choose to write and how I write them." Read more:

| Pricing Tool on the NetBeans Platform
|
| "I've had a little pet interest in derivative pricing for a while,"
|
| writes Matthew Ryan, from Brisbane in Australia. "And I thought I would
|
| make a quick little Black-Scholes option pricing tool on the NetBeans
|
| Platform." Check out the screenshots of his application built on the
|
| NetBeans Platform here, in his blog:
