The document discusses JUGL meeting dates in March, April and May and seeks speakers. It then provides an overview of using Netbeans 6.0 to develop visual mobile applications, including what Netbeans and Java ME are, how the CLDC and MIDP specifications define the Java ME architecture, and a demo of Netbeans' visual tools for developing mobile user interfaces and applications. Resources for learning more about Netbeans mobility support are listed at the end.
