Lesson 3Using an Integrated Development Environment
In this lesson, we will use an IDE to create a “Hello, World!” program and look at the tools that an IDE provides to developers.
USING AN IDE
If you don't already have NetBeans open, open it now and explore it a little bit. As you saw in the previous lesson, when you first open NetBeans, it will normally open to a start page, which includes links to common tasks that are organized by tab. The Learn & Discover tab includes links to resources to help you learn how to use NetBeans and develop software programs using Java. The My NetBeans tab (as shown in Figure 3.1) includes links and shortcuts to recent projects that you have worked on in NetBeans, as well as links to plug-ins and other features available through NetBeans. The What's New tab includes links to news articles and blog posts about NetBeans development.
While the information on these tabs is useful, they don't really represent what NetBeans can do for you as a developer.

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
