The Definitive Guide to NetBeans Platform [Paperback]

The Definitive Guide to NetBeans Platform is a thorough and definitive introduction to the NetBeans Platform, covering all its major application programming interfaces (APIs) in detail, with relevant code examples used throughout.

The original German book on which this title is based was well received. The NetBeans platform community has put together this English translation, which author Heiko B?ck updated to cover NetBeans platform 6.5 APIs. With an introduction by known NetBeans platform experts Jaroslav Tulach, Tim Boudreau, and Geertjan Wielenga, this is the most up-to-date book on this topic.

All NetBeans platform developers will be interested in purchasing it, because several topics in the book have not been documented anywhere else.

This is the first, definitive and official book on the open-source Java language, NetBeans Platform 6.5. It is written by Heiko Boeck, a respected member of the NetBeans developer community, and endorsed by NetBeans and its Founder, Jaroslav Tulach.

The best way to improve what you do is to find someone who will do it for you better than you could have done yourself. Ive seen this principle in action over and over again. For example, it was fine designing the NetBeans IDE and NetBeans Platform on my own. Now, however, it is much better, since there are far more talented developers designing the various individual parts together. Similarly, I was OK writing documentation for the NetBeans Platform, but it is much better to have a group of enthusiastic people who produce tons of interesting tutorials and blogs on topics that I would never have thought up myself. Along the same lines, it was entertaining to contribute to a book about the NetBeans Platform. However, it is an order of magnitude better to see this one by Heiko! It is richer and more interesting. Plus, it covers topics that I never dreamed of covlSˇ
