The NetBeansTM organization issued its first edition of NetBeans Magazine as part of the third annual NetBeans Software Day and the 2006 JavaOneSM Conference that took place in mid-May. This special first edition of NetBeans Magazine showcases a wide selection of IDE and extension features, from desktop and web development to plug-in module creation.

Written for all levels of NetBeans expertise, this inaugural edition of NetBeans Magazine will teach beginners how to develop a complete desktop application using Matisse and other IDE facilities, while seasoned programmers will benefit from details on the NetBeans Profiler, which introduces breakthrough innovations in profiling tools, and further learn about GroupLayout, the layout manager that is the core of Matisse. The magazine also explains how to use IDE features and modules to detect bug patterns, enforce code conventions and closely follow coding rules that promote overall quality and reduce maintenance costs.
