Articles
Financial Software and the NetBeans Platform
"I can't say enough great things about the NetBeans Platform. It really does make the impossible easy. With the first application behind us, we now have an incredible amount of infrastructure to leverage, and we will be doing just that using the NetBeans Platform."
Web Services with NetBeans and Maven
"In my opinion NetBeans has far the best integration of Maven. You don't have to configure both your IDE and Maven because NetBeans relies on the configuration in the POM file."

Despite having been arranged at the last minute, and undermined a bit by Lufthansa strikes and Deutsche Bahn hiccups, the room was filled to almost maximum capacity, certainly around 100 attendees were present. Find out what you missed if you weren't there!
