DZone has just released the first set of their Refcardz, including a ‘ Getting Started with Eclipse‘. It looks like a great resource for anyone starting in Eclipse. Nitin from Dzone was kind enough to drop off some of the Refcardz for the Eclipse booth at JavaOne; they proved to...
The Eclipse booth at JavaOne is being hosted this year (as it is normally hosted) by a broad cast of Eclipse committers, representatives from member companies, and other generally-knowledgeable people.
