 WHAT IS NETBEANS ?
 A fast fully-featured Integrated Development Environment
(IDE) with support for Java.
 Provides an open source, high performance, modular,
extensible, multi-platform Java IDE for GUI, mobile tools,
Web, and Desktop applications.
 Written in java and therefore runs on every operating system
that supports Java VM.
EARLY HISTORY:
 NetBeans began in 1996 as Xelfi (word play on Delphi), a
Java IDE student project under the guidance of the Faculty
of Mathematics and Physics at Charles University in Prague.
 In 1997 Roman Stanek formed a company around the
project and produced commercial versions of the NetBeans
IDE until it was bought by Sun Microsystems in 1999.
 Sun open-sourced the NetBeans IDE in June of the
following year. The NetBeans community has since
continued to grow.
FEATURES:

 It is a Platform
 It is an award-winning IDE
 It is a community
IT IS A PLATFORM:
 A platform is a crucial element in software
development.
 It is an agreement that the platform provider gave to
the software developer that logic code will interpret
consistently as long as the platform is running on
top of other platforms.
 Logic code includes byte code, source code, and
machine code.it actually means execution of the
program is not restricted by the type of operating
system provided.it has mostly replaced the machine
independent languages.
ABOUT IDE:

An Integrated Development Environment is a

computer software to help computer programmers
develop software.

 The Leaders:
 NetBeans
 Microsoft Visual Studio
 Eclipse
IT IS AN AWARD-WINNING IDE:
 An integrated development environment (IDE) also
known as integrated design environment or
integrated debugging environment is a software
application that provides comprehensive facilities to
computer programmers for software development.
An IDE normally consists of:
 a source code editor
 a compiler and/or an interpreter
 build automation tools
 a debugger
IT IS A COMMUNITY:

 Almost 10 million downloads of the IDE – over

33% of which happened in the last 12 months alone
 Increasing market share
 Over 300,000 subscribers to the email lists
 You can join: http://www.netbeans.org/community
and http://developers.sun.com
Netbeans – advantages:
1.GUI: The major requirement of today’s developers is to have a good
User Interface for their users. They can provide whatever functionality
they need but it’s the GUI that lets the user better know the existence of
that particular functionality and its easier for them to click and select than
type something on a black boring screen. Thus, today’s developers need
IDE’s such as netbeans that develop ready made windows forms with all
the required buttons, labels, text boxes and like that can be tailor made for
the program in question.
2.Database Integration: Database based program developers know
how hard it is to interface your back-end database to your front-end
program. This is where netbeans packs the punch by providing you a
CRUD(create, Read, Update, Delete) application shell.
3. Built-in support for Drag-n-Drop or double-click events.
