Abstracts

What makes NetBeans the best?

Abstract: Is NetBeans a platform or an IDE? NetBeans is both. It's a platform for developing rich client applications and it's an award-winning Integrated Development Environment (IDE). This session provides an introduction to the world of NetBeans, including a tour of the distinguishing features in the IDE. It also highlights the most important new features in the upcoming NetBeans 5.0 release: enhancements to the editor, new CVS support, more types of refactoring, module development support, and the highly-anticipated Project Matisse.

What makes NetBeans the best IDE for J2ME development?

Abstract: J2ME development requires a specific set of tools. The NetBeans IDE provides a first class set of tools for developing mobile Java applications. This session is an introduction to J2ME and demonstrates the features of the NetBeans IDE Mobility Pack. The ultra-cool visual designer will be demonstrated, along with wizards that support wireless connection and procide a unique solution to the device fragmentation problem.

What makes NetBeans the best IDE for J2EE development?

Abstract: NetBeans provides a trouble-free out-of-box experience for J2EE developers. There's no need to search for plug-ins; the NetBeans IDE provides you with the tools you need to start being productive right away. These include: sample J2EE code & blueprints with documentation, tight integration with a growing list of application servers, and lots of powerful tools: editors, debuggers, profilers, wizards, etc.
