VirtualBox 3.1 Beginner's Guide Book now available !

At last… the book I worked on during the last 6 months or so has been published!

Since virtualization is a pretty popular subject nowadays, I hope this book helps to promote one of the best virtualization software packages available: VirtualBox from Sun Microsystems (now a part of Oracle).

Overview of VirtualBox 3.1: Beginner's Guide

  • Get up and running with VirtualBox to start working with your own virtual machines
  • Effectively administer and use virtual machines in a home/office environment
  • Analyze virtual machines with the most commonly used software tools
  • Create your first virtual machine with VirtualBox on Windows/Linux with step-by-step instructions and screenshots

The third part of my article series about building a Twitter client is now published on Packt’s website:

http://www.packtpub.com/article/build-your-own-application-twitter-java-netbeans-3

In this article you’ll learn to:

  • Add a Tabbed Pane component to your SwingAndTweet application, so you can show your own timeline on one tab and your friends’ timeline on another tab.
  • Use a JScrollPane component to add vertical and horizontal scrollbars to your friends’ timeline list.
  • Use the getFriendsTimeline() method from the Twitter4J API to get the 20 most recent tweets from your friends’ timeline.
  • Apply font styles to your JLabel components via the Font class
  • Add a black border to separate each individual tweet by using the BorderFactory and Color classes.
  • Add the date and time of creation of each individual tweet by using the getCreatedAt() method from the twitter4j.Status interface, along with the Date class.

Check it out and let me know if you like it or not! You can leave your comments  in Packt’s website, too…
