1 out of 5 stars Seriously Out of Date; Limited Topic Coverage   September 22, 2006
 18 out of 21 found this review helpful

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.

I bought the Field Guide shortly after starting to use NetBeans a couple months ago. To be honest, I really haven't used this book.

NetBeans is pretty intuitive and there's a lot of documentation available in Help and online. There are some good tutorials online that will get you up to speed faster than a 500 page hardcopy walkthrough.

Maybe it will prove to be a useful reference some day, but I doubt it.

Just my opinion.

5 out of 5 stars A very complete and easy to follow guide   July 3, 2006
 1 out of 4 found this review helpful

I have been using Netbeans sometime but really wanted to get a book to learn more about this powerful tool. I really like this book and think the author did a great job explaining many of the features.

I feel that I will be more productive now that I have this book. For any Netbeans users, I would recommend it. This is a nice complement to an already outstanding development environment.



2 out of 5 stars Already out of date with Netbeans   May 24, 2006
 6 out of 9 found this review helpful

Only an OK book. Minor improvements covering J2ME tools and Matisse. Needed a lot more coverage of the Netbeans Plug-ins and RCP usage. Not a lot of good code examples and some examples difficult to understand. Also Netbeans 5.5 is in beta and soon to be released. This book only covers 5.0 so in my mind is already out of date.
