NetBeans Zone | Everyone’s Playing

Posted in NetBeans, Personal, XML, nb-Dzone at 4:00 pm by Varun

Guys,

Its been a hectic week for me, its just the 4th day of the week, and I am documenting a lot. Though, I made a comeback on this blog, out-of-the-blue! However, I’m enjoying it now, so does the NetBeans Zone users, who are enjoying playing with XML Layer!

How?

I wrote a blog entry, basically another edition of tips and Tricks, this time focus being on NetBeans Platform, and that too, primarily on XML Layer, which is an optional configuration file, for registering actions into the IDE, and much more than that, I guess!

I consulted Geertjan Wielenga, for reposting that entry into NetBeans Zone! He gave me a green signal, so I reposted it here - http://netbeans.dzone.com/tips/play-with-xml-layer

It was made public there since yesterday, and I am so happy to see the response, nearly 200 views, 13 Votes Up, No Votes Down! What else, you could ask for? Its titled, “Playing with NetBeans XML Layer Files (Part 1)“. Yes, 2nd part coming soon…Its pending moderation, I guess it would be publish there within this week.

Now, what?

I did blog that on Monday, and within 3 days, I am out with its 2nd part, planning a 3rd part, as well as, contributed 4 tutorials (based on all this stuff) to the NetBeans Community Docs, today! See, how much documenting is taking place, since Monday morning!

Three parts which are being blogged here, would eventually end up in NetBeans Community Docs, expanded into numerous HowTo’s. So, by this weekend you would see, great rush of blogs, tutorials, tips and tricks, howTo’s, and obviously more contributions from community bloggers! Have a look at the updated page on this blog!

FAQs. Do you have the answers? Add them to the User FAQ wiki page or write a short HowTo and link it here.

Thank You!

We are still accepting your contributions for Community Docs, where are you people, c’mon talk to us, have any problem contributing, discuss with us, atleast send in your blog URL to us, so that we can add your feeds to our personal blogs aggregator! Read more…

Schema Aware XML Hyperlink Support

Posted in NetBeans, Personal, Podcasts, XML, nb-Dzone at 6:11 pm by Varun

Hey,

As I told you earlier, I have recently started my Summer Training, so here I am, announcing about its details on my blog.

Few days back, Gregg Sporar and Roman Strobl got together after a long time, for yet another episode of NetBeans Podcast. I was featured again, this time because of the Internship Project, Geertjan Wielenga making an appearance this time, introduced our project in the dying minutes of the podcast. Earlier, Amit and I were featured just before CFF got over, that time as well because of a project idea we had for NetBeans Innovators Grant. Though, we were not selected eventually.

Coming back to the title of this post, basically its our Internship Project at Sun Microsystems, India. Angad and I would be working as a team under the mentorship of Rohan Ranade, who requires no introduction!

We have submitted an article on this project over NetBeans Zone | Dzone. Have a look, any comments/suggestions are welcome!

Posted in Community Docs, NetBeans, nb-61, nb-Dzone at 8:14 pm by Varun

Hi,

Today, I saw a revamped NetBeans.org, its been improving for the last few months, the progress is amazing.

You would feel drastic changes, in NetBeans Knowledge Base, from today. Its awesome, I am proud to be a part of the Docs Team, even our docs getting recognized, with a separate section for Community Docs, named as “Community Contributed Docs”. Its a great feeling folks!

enjoy Technology…..enjoy NetBeaning!
