NetBeans(TM) IDE Field Guide: Developing Desktop, Web, Enterprise, and Mobile Applications Review by Technical Reader
Seriously Out of Date; Limited Topic Coverage
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.
