NetBeans - book review
Seller was great.
This book is good, not as wordy as a lot of OReilly books tend to be. I just don't like NetBeans. It's a resource hog, not anywhere near as robust, easy to use and configure as Eclipse, IMO.
Before you buy an book on NetBeans check the version covered and what you are using.

Sofar, O'Reilly books never disappointed me.
Sometimes I wish, I had all of the O'Reilly books on my shelf. `NetBeans The Definitive Guide` is a real asset to your bookshelf. IDE's are not that simple anymore. If you learn them by `hacking` you certainly do not learn the `hidden` features. Although I know Java well, this book helps to accomplish a development task faster. I like particular the chapters on Java Beans, Javadoc, XML, Extending NetBeans, Tuning Models. These are topics that require a book to help you.
