<p>As we approach <a | |
href="https://netbeans.org/community/articles/javaone/2011/index.html" | |
target="newwindow">JavaOne | |
2011</a>, let's take a look at where the best tips, tricks, and | |
articles about the NetBeans IDE and NetBeans Platform are coming from. | |
More often than not, these are written by the worldwide NetBeans | |
blogger community.</p> | |
<p><a href="http://planetnetbeans.org/" target="newwindow"> | |
PlanetNetBeans.org</a> | |
is the | |
aggregator of all NetBeans-related blogs, helping bloggers from all | |
around the world link their blogs in a centralized location. Blog | |
entries on PlanetNetBeans.org are automatically displayed in the | |
NetBeans IDE Welcome Screen. A recent <a | |
href="https://netbeans.org/community/polls/" target="newwindow">NetBeans | |
community | |
poll</a> | |
showed that a high percentage of NetBeans users get the latest NetBeans | |
news from the Welcome Screen; this makes PlanetNetBeans a good place to | |
be if as a blogger you want to reach out to the NetBeans community.</p> | |
<p>Popular blogs aggregated on PlanetNetBeans.org include several by | |
NetBeans Dream Team members, who are the NetBeans official thought | |
leaders in the wider open source community. For example, <a | |
href="http://javaevangelist.blogspot.com" target="newwindow">John Yeary</a>, | |
president | |
of | |
the | |
Greenville | |
JUG, blogs a lot about JSF and the support that NetBeans | |
has for this leading web application framework. The samples he | |
discusses in his blog are also often made available as NetBeans | |
projects, so check out this blog if you're a Java EE developer.</p> | |
<p>Similarly, NetBeans Dream Team member <a | |
href="http://www.adam-bien.com/roller/abien/" target="newwindow">Adam | |
Bien</a> provides a | |
lot of up to date information about NetBeans in the Java EE world. "On | |
every save NetBeans deploys your application behind the scenes in | |
milliseconds," he writes in a recent blog, explaining how incremental | |
builds work and how to set them up in the IDE. <a | |
href="http://netbeanside61.blogspot.com" target="newwindow">Tushar | |
Joshi</a>, another | |
NetBeans Dream Team member, this time from India, often provides useful | |
info about the general features of NetBeans IDE, such as how to change | |
from package to hierarchical views in the NetBeans Projects window. | |
Other frequent NetBeans bloggers from the NetBeans Dream Team include <a | |
href="http://eppleton.de/blog" target="newwindow">Anton Epple</a> and <a | |
href="http://www.aljoscha-rittner.de/blog" target="newwindow">Aljoscha | |
Rittner</a> from | |
the German community.</p> | |
<p>The NetBeans Team itself also sports several | |
active blogs. Most | |
significant of these is the <a | |
href="http://blogs.oracle.com/netbeansphp" target="newwindow">NetBeans | |
PHP Team blog</a>. | |
The NetBeans PHP IDE has become very popular in a very short space of | |
time, which can at least partly be explained by its enthusiastic | |
development team. The team communicates directly with its users via the | |
NetBeans PHP blog, where new features are announced and discussed with | |
users. For example, recently Smarty framework support was announced by | |
the NetBeans PHP Team in their blog, which received enthusiastic | |
responses from the blog followers, as well as follow up questions about | |
the status of Twig in the IDE.</p> | |
<p>Let's also not forget the blog by | |
NetBeans architect <a href="http://wiki.apidesign.org" | |
target="newwindow">Jaroslav Tulach</a>, | |
filled with | |
idiosyncratic pointers useful for API designers everywhere. Other | |
popular blogs from the NetBeans Team include those by <a | |
href="http://blogs.oracle.com/geertjan" target="newwindow">Geertjan | |
Wielenga</a> and <a href="http://blogs.oracle.com/rechtacek" | |
target="newwindow">Jiri Rechtacek</a>. Both | |
these blogs have existed for several years and provide a wide range of | |
wisdom and insight into the internals of the NetBeans project.</p> | |
<p>Aside | |
from the NetBeans Dream Team and the NetBeans Team itself, | |
there are many more blogs that are worthy of mention. For example, | |
blogs by <a href="http://layerxml.wordpress.com" target="newwindow">Nicklas | |
Lof</a> in | |
Sweden, <a href="http://tim-sparg.blogspot.com/search/label/NetBeans" | |
target="newwindow">Tim | |
Sparg</a> in South Africa, and <a | |
href="http://praxisintermedia.wordpress.com" target="newwindow">Neil | |
C. Smith</a> in the | |
UK, all providing tips, tricks, and insights that you'll not find | |
anywhere else.</p> | |
<p>Indeed, the blogging community around NetBeans is an | |
important | |
aspect of NetBeans support for developers everywhere. Let's take this | |
moment to thank everyone for all the hard work they've done over the | |
past years!</p> | |
