This document introduces the NetBeans Platform, which provides generic application functionality and a modular architecture. It outlines the goals of understanding the platform's problem domain and main APIs. A demo shows porting an existing application to the platform. Resources include tutorials, documentation, mailing lists, and sample applications to help developers get started with the NetBeans Platform.
