 <h1>NetBeans Day Hyderabad: Standing Room Only</h1>
 <br>
 <br>
 What was the most sought after item at NetBeans Day Hyderabad? Judging
 from the turnout, a good guess might be: a vacant seat.<br>
 <br>
 Empty
 chairs were hard to come by on February 23 when over 900
 attendees gathered inside one of the halls of Indiaís largest
 convention center for a chance to listen to presentations from NetBeans
 experts and partners and to connect with other users. <br>

 Evangelist Ashwin Rao started the day with an opening address
 in which he thanked the diverse crowd of developers and students for
 their impressive turnout and for helping to give NetBeans the clout it
 enjoys today with millions of downloads and a vibrant community of
 users. He also acknowledged the impact of the more than 130 partners
 that presently make up the <a
  href="../partners/">
 NetBeans Partner Program</a>, a program that recognizes companies and
 individuals that add value to NetBeans through module building, code
 contribution and endorsements. Before Rao stepped aside for the dayís
 first presentation, the audience received a quick overview of
 developments within NetBeans and what to expect in the coming months. <br>
 <br>
 Their
 appetites already whetted, veteran users and the
 uninitiated listened attentively as NetBeans writer and popular blogger
 <a href="http://blogs.sun.com/geertjan/">Geertjan Wielenga</a> turned
 the focus onto the NetBeans editor in theìOn the Move with NetBeansî.
 To give the
 audience a better idea about improvements to look forward to in the new
 editor of NetBeans 6.0ófor example, stop-and-replay on run, smart code
 completion, and moreóWielenga gave his demo from two computers, one
 displaying the 5.5 editor and the other the 6.0 editor. He later gave a
 second presentation that day about the NetBeans Platform:
 ìPorting a Java Application to the NetBeans Platform", in which he
 moved a simple JMF client to a TopComponent, installed it into the IDE,
 and then into the NetBeans Platform. <br>

  hspace="5" vspace="5"></a>Unlike
 airline travelers, why should developers not have a fear of
 packing? There are no weight restrictions if they ìpackî with NetBeans!<br>
 <br>
 Fortunately for the audience, it never got to hear this bad
 joke,
 instead it heard and saw something better: Raoís ìUnpack Your
 Favorite Featureî presentation, an overview of the
 Enterprise pack, the Profiler pack and the Visual Web pack, and the
 ways that each can enhance a developerís productivity.&nbsp; Attendees
 were also treated to presentations by NetBeans partners YASU Tech and
 InfoSys. InfoSys engineer, Dr. Kumar, along with Sun developers Prakash
 Narayan and PCM Reddy, co-presented on ìDid You Get Your Tools with
 That?î, a Java EE tools demonstration. Afterwards, Kumar announced, to
 the audienceís delight, that his teamsís developers use NetBeans
 frequently
 for their development projects, citing that the
 IDEís tool set allowed them to develop scalable and robust applications
 and that it improved developer productivity.

  hspace="5" vspace="5"></a>In classic NetBeans Day fashion, presenters
 were
 swamped
 with questions
 and comments from attendees during scheduled Q&amp;A segments after
 individual presentations and during breaks in the dayís program.
 Wielenga, for example, fielded inquiries about the NetBeans IDE and
 platform as waiting users typed their questions on his laptop for him
 to
 review and respond to later.<br>
 <br>
 Overall, NetBeans Day Hyderabad was another worldTour success with fans
 learning first-hand about the latest and upcoming enhancements to their
 IDE of choice, NetBeans experts receiving invaluable feedback about the
 product, and converts getting an introduction to the vibrant community
 that is NetBeans.<br>
 <br>
 To those planning to attend upcoming NetBeans worldTour events: reserve
 early AND show up early--the seats really do fill up quickly!<br>
