| Hello everyone.

 

| Welcome to the tutorial on '''Introduction to Netbeans IDE'''.

|Netbeans is a free and open-source 'Integrated Developement Environment', available at '''www.netbeans.org'''.

| It allows for integration of various components.  

|Supports various scripting languages and advanced text editors.  

|It also provides 'GUI' to create and design projects and also supports databases.  

|To finish this tutorial, basic knowledge in the Java Programming Language is necessary.  

|In this tutorial , we will: * look at the installation of Netbeans  

|* get familiarized with the interface of Netbeans and  

|* create a sample Java Project.  

|Let us first look at installing the 'IDE'.  

|Netbeans can be downloaded from '''netbeans.org. '''

|Click on the '''Download link''' on the main page of the site.  

|click on the '''download link''' in the last column which includes the download of all the supported technologies that is required by the IDE including the '''Glassfish Server.'''  

|The installation of Netbeans also requires the installtion of the Java Development Kit, (JDK) which can be downloaded from '''java.sun.com. '''

|Click on the Get Java link here and select the link to download both the Netbeans and JDK Bundle.  

|In the next page which loads

|02;19

|Select the setup file which is compatible with your operating system

|On Ubuntu, the setup file is downloaded as a  '''.sh '''(dot sh) file,

|i.e as a shell script file.  

|Run this file by going to the Terminal.

|Navigate to the window or directory which contains the downloaded set up file and at the prompt

| Type '''sh''' followed by the name of the downloaded file and press Enter.

|This will start the installer which will take a few moments.

|The installer appears on screen

|You can follow the onscreen instructions to install the IDE on your system

|I will exit the installer now

|Let us now look at the Netbeans Window.  

| To open or launch Netbeans on your Ubuntu Operating System  

| Go to the menu item applications , '''Programmings''' and click on the '''Netbeans IDE icon'''

|When you first launch the IDE it opens the Netbeans start page

|The IDE window contains

|menus in the menu bar

|toolbars and

|workspaces like the file system window  

|The runtime window and the

 

|output window  

|The ''' main menu''' provides most of the commands you need to use Netbeans with , including  

|'''creating, editing, compiling, running''' and '''debugging''' your projects .  

| such as '''editing in the workspace window , execution, output, or debugging.''' which is present below the workspace

|Let us next create a '''Sample Java Project'''.  

|To create a java project go to the '''File''' menu Click on '''New Project'''

|In the new project Wizard box under '''Categories '''

|Select '''java''' under '''Projects''', select '''Java Applications''' and Click '''Next'''

|In the name and location page  of the wizard  

|Give your Project name as '''KeyboardReader. '''

|Set the Set as Main Project checkbox selected and   

|Click '''Finish'''.  

|Once the project is created you should be able to  see the projects window on the left  side of the IDE windows

| which contains a tree view of the components of the project, including source files, libraries that your code depends on,

|The Source Editor  in on the right with a file called  as  '''KeyboardReader.java ''' opened

|Now in the main class, Let us entered a sample java code,

| This code reads input from the keyboard and gives an output indicating if the input is a whole number or a floating point number  

|I am now copying this code onto my clipboard , and pasting it over the existing code in the IDE workspace.  

|The next step is to run our project.

| To run any project on the Netbeans IDE there are 3 methods

|The first method is you can click on the project node in the Projects window, and choose '''Run''' from the contextual menu

| Or You can go to the toolbar and click on '''Run Project''' button  

|Or you can also  press the F6 key on your keyboard to run the projects.  

| Let me Right Click on the Project node and select the '''Run''' Option

| When you Run a Java application the IDE builds and Compiles the  appilcation code and runs the program in the output window which appears below the Workspace

| The IDE has now prompted me to Enter any Number

| Let me Enter a random number and Press Enter

| It says if the input is whole number or a floating point number

|Now to the Assignment

|As an extension to the KeyboardInputReader project,  

|convert another project i.e a temperatures converter application which takes an input temperature

|Convert into Fahrenheit from Celcius and vice versa

|And displays the converted temperature in the output window.

|Let us run the assignment

|The program has prompted me to enter the input temperature in the output window

|Let me enter a sample temperature -40 in Fahrenheit and it shows me the converted temperature in Celcius

|Gives certificates to those pass an online test.
