If you know Chet or if you’ve seen him speak in public you may know about his bad habit of cracking jokes all the time. I’ll even dare say he’s a funny guy. When I am King is a collection of the jokes, puns and funny stories Chet posts regularly on his blog. I found it to be a very enjoyable book that you can read little by little and I promise you’ll get a least a few smiles out of it (check out the copyright legal blurb at the beginning for instance.)

Chet and I will be at Devoxx together to give yet another Filthy Rich Clients talk. If you plan n going to our session and if you get lucky, I might convince Chet to replace his boring part of the talk about Flex by a standup comedy show.

To add this feature to NetBeans, you first need to download the plugin and the install it manually from the Tools > Plugins > Downloaded screen.

Last but not least, Geertjan is showing on JavaLobby how to use Filthy Rich Clients techniques in NetBeans. If your application is built on top of the NetBeans Platform, you might want to read these articles: Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3.

Also note that Geertjan will soon provide us with a NetBeans module containing all of our demos. That way, you will be able to have them opened in NetBeans by just adding a module to the IDE.
