Hello Guys,
To introduce myself, I'm from GLOSS @ SASTRA University, India. I'm a lot interested in programming. Recently in our college we had an online programming event, where the participants can code in either C or C++ and guess what, it was really a great experience coding in NetBeans IDE. The intuitive way of NetBeans's working helped me save time in organizing the code and give proper indents. And as you all might be aware that when it's gonna be a test to your speed and stuff, there are lots of chances that you might go wrong. Even missing a single curly braces would cost you heavily as you might need to invest a lot of time in debugging the code. But, this time, it was all a very easy job for me. The auto-generation of the brackets, the intuitive code tip which pops out; all helped me enhance and concentrate just over the logic and flow of the code and nothing but those.
I used to program in TurboC++ when I was in my school. But now this IDE is really great and I'd like to extend this technology to my old high school this time..!
Hence I've planned to walk back to my school this Sem-Hols talk to the Principal, and replace the same-old TurboC's with NetBeans IDE. Though not us, atleast our juniors might have the feel of the latest technology and learn and enjoy a great deal of programming.
In the beginning when I was configuring CygWin with NetBeans, I felt it quiet complicated but not though... and so I've written a small how-to on that.
Interested people can go through that and the link is...

I'd really like to thank Sun for giving such a wonderful software, free and open.

Thank you sir, the young developers' page was really a great resource. Hope I'd be able to reach much better now..! BlueJ was absolutely rocking... will blog about my improvements for sure!

Great idea. The Young Developers page on SDN might be a good resource for your high school. You might also want to consider BlueJ. NetBeans now has a BlueJ plugin that allow students to easily migrate to NetBeans when they are ready for a more full featured IDE.
Great ideas. Keep sharing.
