So, which NetBeans Plugins should you install for PHP and HTML? We look at the ones I've installed. We also look at changing the netbeans.conf file (in the netbeans-8.2/etc directory). We also look at updating the Plugins and how to download a Plugin from the NetBeans Plugin Repository.

NOTES:

I tend to make the videos "on the fly", there's no script and everything is done from memory with just a few notes to jog the "old, grey cells". I do apologise for the umms, ahhs, erms, and pregnant pauses in the video - men tend not to be quite as good at multi-tasking :D .

I will, when possible, copy and paste commands to make the videos a little quicker and so as to not waste your time.

Along the way John has learnt and used COBOL, C, C++, Visual Basic, Delphi, PHP (HTML, CSS, JavaScript etc.), SQL, various Scripting languages and some proprietary database languages.
