| <p style="margin-left:8px;"> |
| The AspectJ Development Environment (AJDE) module extension to the NetBeans IDE 6.0 is based on AspectJ Version 1.5.3. The module lets you compile AspectJ and Java files within the IDE, browse the structure of your AspectJ program in a tree structure, and by means of annotation markers in the editor gutter and error stripe, set up a compile configuration that determines which files will be passed to the compiler. Both the Aspectj annotation based style and the Aspectj dialect are supported. The module provides basic editor support for the Aspectj dialect.<br><br>

| <p style="margin-left:8px;"> |
| There are a few memorable programming firsts—your first language, your first running application, your first crash.... Let Arun Gupta's screencast help with another first: Developing your first JRuby application in the NetBeans IDE and deploying it on Glassfish—glitch-free, of course.</p> |

| <p style="margin-left:8px;"> |
| In this tutorial, use the NetBeans IDE to create and deploy a web application that displays master-detail data from a database that is bundled with the IDE. Then in the application, select a person from a drop-down list, and the application displays a table that shows all the trip records for that person.</p> |
