Want to develop a cross-platform desktop application of any significant size or complexity? Learn to use the NetBeans Platform! Distinct from its more well-known associated IDE, the NetBeans Platform is an open-source (CDDL/GPL) Java-based framework that provides your application with advanced GUI features such as tabbed documents, toolbars, dockable panes, property sheets, autocompleting editors, options dialogs, keyboard shortcuts, progress bars for background tasks, and full-screen mode, as well as countless libraries for dealing with common desktop application tasks such as automatic software updates, internationalization, file system interaction, diagram drawing, and persisting user data to disk. NetBeans Platform applications can be distributed with native installers for Windows, MacOS, and Linux, or launched directly from the Web.
This course is a three-day workshop taught by Geertjan Wielenga from Oracle/Sun Microsystems. It features about 50/50 lectures and in-class exercises on your laptop. Pizza lunch provided.
Graduate students and faculty are especially welcome; the NetBeans Platform is well-suited for building many kinds of research application.
