Synopses & Reviews
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. Table of Contents Introduction Structure of the NetBeans Platform The Module System Actions User Interface Design Lookup File Access and Display Graphical Components Reusable NetBeans Platform Components Internationalization and Localization Real-World Application Development Updating a NetBeans Platform Application Persistence Web Services Extending the NetBeansIDE From Eclipse RCP to the NetBeans Platform Tips and Tricks Example: MP3 Manager
Synopsis
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. I ve 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 covering myself. My first encounter with this book dates back to 2007 when Heiko finished his German version. I was asked to review the book s content. However, as my German reading abilities are close to zero, my goal was more to read the sample Java code and ensure that correct patterns were used and described. It quickly became easy to see that everything was more than OK. Not only that, I could immediately see that the topics were extraordinary and that they brought new ideas into the NetBeans Platform world."
