NetBeans and implementation of other compilers
Although the true test of a programmers ability is by using the command line, NetBeans is a very good IDE and allows one to incorporate other features.
The features include C++, PHP, Java Card, Maven, etc. Each of these require a compiter to be installed.
Which windows based C++ compiler would be the best with the simplest installation?
Which PHP version would be better to install and would this be from PHP.org or some other source?
When Java is activated are all the features such as Maven, Java Card, JavaFX, Debugger, Profiler and GUI available?

I'll ask for recommendations on C++ and PHP.
The question on JavaFX and GUI applications is very timely! Lesson 4 dives into this. NetBeans should let you create a JavaFX project without any additional installations. The biggest differences between a regular Java project and a JavaFX project, is that Java FX includes a few methods in addition to the main method to get things going. Swing is still a popular (but older) way to create GUI applications. Swing GUIs don't require a special project type.
Debugging and Profiling should be available by default. They're the right-most buttons in NetBeans. I'll include a screenshot of the NetBeans profiler. We're running a MOOC on JVM troubleshooting in January, if you're interested in a deeper dive on the topic. That's where you'll get a chance to play with other compiling tools like Java Mission Control.
To create a Maven project in NetBeans, I think all I needed to do was a Maven installation and set a few environment variables. I haven't played around with Java Card, but it looks like that's a project type you can create with just a little additional setup in NetBeans.

I will be registering for the JVM MOOC for January 2018. Just a pity its not displaying in the course schedule.
-
Awesome. Ha ha, we actually just had a meeting about this. We're looking to upload the MOOC to the Event Calendar and open up enrollment this or next week. The start date is tentatively scheduled for January 22. It's a 3-week course covering:
- Memory Management and Garbage Collection
- Symptoms of Memory Problems
- Diagnostic Data Collection and Analysis tools
-
Nick, I will keep a lookout for the scheduling of the course.

They've opened enrollment. The JVM Troubleshooting MOOC can be found here: www.oracle.com/goto/JVM

Thanks, I have enrolled.
