4.0 out of 5 stars
A good introduction to Netbean version 5.0,
By
This review is from: NetBeans IDE Field Guide: Developing Desktop, Web, Enterprise, and Mobile Applications (Paperback)
The copy I have received, unlike the previous reviewer, covers Netbeans 5.0. Also, the "Reviews From the Back Cover" (above) is taken from the earlier version of this book, which will no doubt confuse.
Netbeans IDE Field Guide (Second Edition) covers various elements that are new to or have been improved in Netbeans 5 including Matisse (Chapter 6), JSF and struts, code versioning (CVS), and more. Obviously the second edition is based heavily on the previous one and picking out the differences isn't that easy. The book had almost certainly gone to press before the authors could talk authoritatively about Java EE 5 but that does not detract from what the book does. So enough defence, why should (or shouldn't) you buy this book? This is a guide to an IDE so obviously if you're not using Netbeans forget this book. However, if you are you'll be pleased to know that it's certainly not a software manual. Instead the chapters are generally written in a tutorial style that walks you through everything from creating your first simple Java application to using EJBs and web-services. (There are a great many step-by-step walk throughs.) It also covers the Mobility Pack (J2ME) and Netbeans' excellent Flow Designer. It covers Ant, performance testing and developing plug-ins. You can tell I like this book! It's full of clear illustrations, good advice (e.g. about Java Blue Prints) it tells you how to use Netbeans to construct or import sophisticated software systems (e.g. web or enterprise services). It's constantly by my side or at least within reach and if you're new to Netbeans I could not imagine a better 'get you started' (and 'develop very sophisticated programs') guide. I find it has a friendly uncluttered style and is easy to read. Great book!

Too late,
By
This review is from: NetBeans IDE Field Guide: Developing Desktop, Web, Enterprise, and Mobile Applications (Paperback)
Why is a book on NB4.1 being published so long after NB5.0 has been out? Should have put back the publishing date 6 months and updated to 5.0

Seriously Out of Date; Limited Topic Coverage,
By Technical Reader - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: NetBeans IDE Field Guide: Developing Desktop, Web, Enterprise, and Mobile Applications (Paperback)
This book covers up to Netbeans 4.1; the current revision on the streets is 5.0 and the 5.5 Beta is almost ready to go live. Unfortunately there are big differences between the 4.x and 5.x versions, rendering this book useless to all but those who need the most basic NB usage info.
Seriously lacking in this book (revision issues aside) is any information on "Netbeans Platform" development. This is a serious oversight. When will we find a good, current Netbeans book that covers Platform and Module development in depth??? I returned it to Amazon after about an hour reviewing it. It simply does not meet the need for today's Netbeans Developer. 10 of 11 people found the following review helpful:

Essential guide learning how to use Netbeans to develop Java applications,
By J. Bologna - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: NetBeans IDE Field Guide: Developing Desktop, Web, Enterprise, and Mobile Applications (Paperback)
This book was written by programmers, for programmers. As a programmer knows, learning a new editor/IDE is the bane of the profession. I still use the editor I learned in college, because I hate learning new ones. - This book makes it easy (No, I won't say how long ago I went to college :)
The field guide is a very well written book and an essential guide for learning how to develop Java applications quickly. Fully 1/4 of the book shows essential details for learning the shortcuts that reduce keystrokes and teach essential techniques for becoming a power user of the IDE. The book also contains grey boxes that address some of the history and essential concepts of Java programming. Each section is designed to fully address the myriad of activities supported by the Netbeans IDE. The beginning of each section shows a table of essential functionality and associated key combinations, making this book handy to have close by. The Netbeans IDE has a lot of hidden functionality, which is exposed by a quick scan of the book. Code refactoring and debugging are very common activities that are covered in detail. The book also covers every type of Java application - from PC based (console) to embedded systems (J2ME) though server based systems (J2EE) and Web Services. Coverage of how to use the Form editor is good; however the example does not show how to create form. It also does not mention that in order to drag and drop components in Windows both mouse buttons must be pressed. But these are minor oversights in otherwise excellent coverage of the material. As I try the more sophisticated aspects of Java programming, this book helps me get started in a hands-on manner very quickly. This book is essential for anyone trying to become proficient in the world of modern Java programming. 7 of 8 people found the following review helpful:

Great, Practical Guide.,
By J. KAPSON - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: NetBeans IDE Field Guide: Developing Desktop, Web, Enterprise, and Mobile Applications (Paperback)
The NetBeans IDE is very powerful and has many features that simplify the process of creating quality Java applications ranging in scale from large (J2EE) to small (J2ME). This Field Guide is an outstanding companion book targeted for use by real-world software engineering practitioners. In a straightforward manner, it walks one through the process of familiarizing oneself with the IDE; setting up projects; and creating, debugging and deploying applications for web, desktop, enterprise, and mobile platforms.
I've developed software professionally for almost twenty years and have read my fair share of technical books - this one ranks very high on my scale for it's clarity, content, and practicality. If you work with Java, you will not be disappointed using NetBeans and this Field Guide. |
