Selected as Member of NetBeans Dream Team

 

Dear all,

I am very happy to inform you that I am selected as Member of NetBeans Dream Team. It is an honor to be a member of NetBeans Dream Team and I am thankful of NetBeans Dream Team and NetBeans Team for considering me and my efforts towards Java and NetBeans, feeling honored since there are around only 50 people selected till now from all over the world and I am the 3rd Indian to be a member of NetBeans Dream Team after Mr, Tushar Joshi (Nagpur, India) and Mr. Rajmahendra Hegde (Chennai and Hyderabad, India).

11th Feb. 2015 was a great day for me, we had festival (Birth Anniversary) of Saint Gajanan Maharaj (Shegaon, Maharashtra, India) and same day only I have received mail with subject as Invitation to join NetBeans Dream Team!. This means all my faith in our saint and dreams have come true.

I am feeling more responsible now and I understand my responsibilities and will work as per guidelines of veteran members of NetBeans Dream Team. I am already working with a new JUG near Pune (Maharashtra, India) that is JUG Nashik (Maharashtra, India)  and will be there for few days with them from 13th Feb 2015. I will be working with 3 JUGs for now that is JUG Nagpur, JUG Pune and JUG Nashik.

For this, I would love to give credit to my family and specially to my Guide cum Mentor, Mr. Tushar Joshi. They have always encouraged me a lot even when many times I could not give them enough time due to hectic schedule of training session all over India. Also I would love to say thanks to my little son for coming in our life as a good luck charm only few days back. My wife was in also worried whether I will be there or not at the time of labor but never complained and said you just do your job, I will take care of everything.

Happy Birthday NetBeans

Window Wizard Test Specification for NetBeans 7.1

While working with NetCAT team for the certification of NetBeans 7.1, the NetBeans User Group, Nagpur (NUG Nagpur) was assigned a task to create 7 different test specifications for the new features which are going to be introduced for the first time in NetBeans 7.1. Thanks a lot Jiri Kovalsky, NetCAT Manager, NetBeans, Oracle for showing trust in us.

Hence, we 7 people from NUG Nagpur were assigned a individual task. I was assigned to write a complete test specification for window wizard, which  is a new feature in NetBeans 7.1 that allows developer to design forms & UI with the help of GUI designer for NetBeans Platform Applications.  I have created the window wizard test specification for NetBeans 7.1.

NetBeans User Group, Nagpur

NetBeans User Group, Nagpur

Brief Introduction:

NUGNagpur is a group of people passionate about NetBeans IDE or NetBeans Platform and who are located geographically in Nagpur, Maharashtra, India.  This group is the main collaboration tool for the members.  This is a focused group and the members intend to meet many a time in a month.  The objective of the group is to share personal experiences, tricks, tips and learning with each other and contributing the community as and when possible.


The NetBeans IDE:

The NetBeans IDE is an award-winning integrated development environment available for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Solaris. The NetBeans project consists of an open-source IDE and an application platform that enable developers to rapidly create web, enterprise, desktop, and mobile applications using the Java platform, as well as JavaFX, PHP, JavaScript and Ajax, Ruby and Ruby on Rails, Groovy and Grails, and C/C++.


The NetBeans Platform:

The NetBeans Platform is a generic framework for Swing applications. It provides the “plumbing” that, before, every developer had to write themselves—saving state, connecting actions to menu items, toolbar items and keyboard shortcuts; window management, and so on.

The NetBeans Platform provides all of these out of the box. You don’t need to manually code these or other basic features, yourself, anymore. See what some NetBeans-based applications look like. The platform does not add a lot of overhead to your application — but it can save a huge amount of time and work.

The NetBeans Platform provides a reliable and flexible application architecture. Your application does not have to look anything like an IDE. It can save you years of development time. The NetBeans Platform gives you a time-tested architecture for free. An architecture that encourages sustainable development practices. Because the NetBeans Platform architecture is modular, it’s easy to create applications that are robust and extensible.



History of NetBeans:

NetBeansbasically stands for Network JavaBeans. The NetBeans started its journey long way ago in the year 1996. Initially it was a final year student project under the guidance of the faculty of the Mathematics & Physics in Prague and was named as “Xelfi” (meaning Delphi for UNIX). It was a group of 7 who started a college project initially in C++ & was aimed for UNIX but after working for a year or so they found it difficult to work in C++, then they switch to Java 1.0.2.

After finishing the project, they started selling it on the internet for approximately $20 USD as the Shareware & they got quite successful.

Jaroslav “Yarda” Tulach is one of the founders of the NetBeans. His actual name is Jaroslav Tulach, he was also one of the 7 people worked on the original college project. He is still working with Sun Microsystems (now Oracle) as an NetBeans Architect.

In the year 1997, Roman Stanek, a Czech entrepreneur founded the NetBeans with the same project.

After the successful presentation of first beta of NetBeans 2.0 at Java One in the year 1998, in the year 1999 Sun Microsystems acquire the NetBeans.

  4. Discussion about the basic objectives of group – All members

The meeting started exact on 8:30 PM on September 23rd, 2010 & finished on 10 PM as everyone was so eager to know about NetBeans. The meeting was really very much motivating & full of energy. The strange coincident that we held the First Meeting of NetBeans at the restaurant Beans & Buddies, NetBeans — Beans & Buddies.
Thanks a lot to Dear Tushar Joshi Sir for his kind & very useful guidance to all of us. He told us many things which we were unaware of, I have been using NetBeans but I did not know the history of NetBeans, Founder of NetBeans Sir Jaroslav “Yarda” Tulach, the Sun & NetBeans, etc. Now I & all the other who were attending the meeting knows thing about the NetBeans, and would definitely like to share all the information to the world.
We also learned about the NetBeans Certified Associate Program & NetBeans Certified Engineer Program, etc. after attending the 2 day training offered to us & after completing the different tasks assigned after completing the training. As well as we learn about ThinkingRock for GTD (Getting Things Done).
I have used Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA, JCreator, etc. many more IDEs for Java Project Development but I found the NetBeans the best among the all other IDEs available in the market. The biggest advantage of using NetBeans you don’t need to install plug-ins for servers, various libraries, in other  words you don’t need to take care of anything, and simply go on writing code for what you want to develop seamlessly.
I really love NetBeans a lot. NetBeans being a Open Source Application also allows us to know & learn many things as well. I don’t think I am going to use any other IDE in future rather than NetBeans.
Recommendation :
I would love to recommend the NetBeans as the Best IDE in the World for Java & other technologies.
