NetBeans Magazine – Issue Four – December 2007

The highly anticipated NetBeans 6.0 release is now available!

To coincide with the launch of 6.0, this latest issue of NetBeans Magazine features 62 pages of in-depth articles. The NetBeans.org project and community have been hard at work redefining developer productivity with a smarter, faster editor, and the integration of all NetBeans products into one IDE. NetBeans IDE 6.0 features Ruby/JRuby/Ruby on Rails support, enhancements for improved Swing development, a new Visual Game Designer, updated Data Binding support, integrated Profiling, and more.

In addition to the NetBeans release, be sure to take a look around the newly redesigned NetBeans.org website and NetBeans.tv. Both have been enhanced to help you find what you need, when you need it and enable you to get involved in the areas of the project that you are interested in. We hope that NetBeans Magazine continues to live up to your expectations and we look forward to your feedback. Enjoy!

You can view the magazine as a whole or as individual articles.
