Back to the Beans

| Saturday, April 5, 2008
As I continue to learn and develop my programming skills, I have found that I really prefer the NetBeans IDE [ www.NetBeans.org ] over the Eclipse IDE [ www.eclipse.org ]. When I first started using an IDE for my Java code (about two years ago) , I found NetBeans to be very user friendly. One of the main reasons for this perceived ease of use was the frequent distribution of "how-to" videos, blogs, articles, etc. by members of the NetBeans developer community.

The weekly NetBeans newsletter provides continuous updates and introductory instructions for the newest or often overlooked features of the IDE. While Eclipse is the "industry standard" IDE for Java development, Netbeans is gaining ground and now allows users to import Eclipse projects.
