About NetBeans

NetBeans IDE is a Java IDE that can help you build robust Web applications. Like most IDEs it has a steep learning curve because they don't often work in the same way that Web editors do. But once you get used to it you'll be hooked. One nice feature is the version control included in the IDE which is really useful for people working in large development environments. If you write Java and Web pages this is a great tool.
