Filippini (Director General, Sun Microsystems Italy) to a room full of approx

Sun Microsystems Italy). Both of them addressed the attendees in the local
language. I could not understand any part of the talk (except bongiorno) but the passion was quite...
I attended and presented at
NetBeans Day Rome earlier today. I sat down to write a detailed report
but Dana Nourie
(SDN Technical Writer) has already done a superb job
summarizing
the event. Instead of repeating the content I'd like to share some
photos from the event showing how the developers were engaged all through
out the day...

Here are some of the tips they explained:
If a controller has more than 6 or 7 actions, and each action > 6-7

The support for Rails in
NetBeans IDE has improved considerably in the past few days.
Greg and
Ludo have been
working
on ramping up the jMaki NetBeans module

Follow the bullet #1 and #2 from
here to create a new...
