NetBeans Birthday Party Begins!

[SANAULLAH]

Welcome to the NetBeans 10th Birthday Celebration! Join us as we celebrate our vibrant community and recognize people and projects that have shaped our success!

Since 1998, NetBeans has grown from a student project into an award winning Open Source project, IDE and application platform. With millions of downloads a year worldwide, the NetBeans community boasts an active and diverse following of software developers, students, instructors and partner companies. Throughout the week, visit this page for unique content—video greetings, community profiles and more—that will highlight some of the key initiatives and dedicated individuals whose contributions have kept the NetBeans momentum going strong.
