NetBeans: The Definitive Guide
"This book is not just the definitive guide, it's the only book on the subject that I know of... The conclusion is that if you are planning to use NetBeans in one of its many forms then investing in a copy of this book is common sense." - Ian Elliot, VSJ, July/August 2003  This book is really an end-to-end tutorial and reference book for using and expanding NetBeans. If like me you only use NetBeans this book is still a bargain.I struggled for a while with creating a Bean, two nights of reading the Beans tutorial and I'd cracked it.  There is so much that NetBeans does for you, wizards that make jobs easier and maintenance easy. I've missed most of them and have only found them and NetBeans real power by reading sections of this book.  If you've got NetBeans then get this book" - James Gordon,  NetBeans: The Definitive Guide - Cvu, August 2003
