NetBeans 11: The Essential Crash Course

Learn to set up NetBeans 11, create a Java SE Hello World project, write the main method, print Hello World, build and run the application.

Navigate NetBeans 11 windows and views, including project, files, favorites, navigator, hierarchy view, services view, and output, plus properties, action items, and tasks for workflow mastery.

Configure NetBeans editor with customizable themes, key bindings, and profiles, including eclipse key bindings, fonts and colors, dark theme, indentation options, and expand tabs to spaces for preferred coding style.

Split the editor in NetBeans 11 to view and edit two source files side by side, using horizontal splits and tab options to scroll separately.

Use NetBeans 11's diff tool to compare two files, view before and after versions, and apply changes by pushing edits with the arrow, then undo if needed.

NetBeans 11 code snippets auto-generate a constructor, a logger, a toString method, and properties from the UI; Alt+Enter adds a property or getter for quick code generation.

Clone a GitHub repository in NetBeans 11 using the built-in team git clone workflow, track local and remote changes with git, and run the project to implement the required output.

Learn to implement drivable and chargeable interfaces in a NetBeans Java project by extending the car class and instantiating the electric car to use drive, start, charge, and stop.

Learn how to import and fix class dependencies in NetBeans by extending Car, implementing chargeable, correcting the spelling, and using the IDE to auto-import and resolve remaining errors.

Override the abstract charge method in a concrete electric car, implementing charge and using editor shortcuts (light bulb) to insert code and remove the unsupported operation exception.

Implement a charge method that uses if statements to verify the car is on and the amount is greater than zero and valid, then update fuel and print charging status.

Learn how to use javadocs to document methods, describe parameters with @param, specify return values with @return, and help developers understand how to use the code.

Learn project debugging in NetBeans 11 by setting breakpoints, running the project, and stepping into and over drive logic while inspecting fuel and miles.
