NEST Developer Guide 2.0

This guide was created for the purpose of providing a method that smoothens the developers transition from their previous pattern of development to adaptating NEST, the component based IDE. Develoeprs can freely insert, export, and merge their code to NEST and unfold a more efficient application development process. NEST development environment provides several advantages for developers to increase their efficiency while also indirectly obtain a new revenue stream.

1. NEST project allows simple Insert/Export/Merge of sourcecode.
2. All NEST compoonents created can be resued for future application projects.
3. Components made on NEST can be uploaded on to the NEST Component Store with the developers NEST account and provide a new revenue source.

Notice: This document will not be helpful for non-develoeprs, the user guide’s “Getting Started” is intended for non-develoeprs.

Two types of NEST Project files exist, the User application file and the Server application file. Each type requires a specific customizing support language

1. User application: Java Script and for HTML5 web applications CSS and HTML can be used.
2. Server application: JAVA, and JAVA Servlet Container

Any programming tools of the developer’s choice can be used to edit the source code and then transferred to NEST. Reviewing and following provided methods will expediate the process to becoming a proficient NEST developer and gaining a new method of application development. The “Confiugration and Component Publication” and “Reference” sections should be focused. Additionally, refer to the “Examples” section and become familiar with NEST code.

The main tools generally used during the development of custom code is described. NEST’s other tool descriptions can be found on the User Guide.

The method, code, and rule of NEST’s Core Class are described. The details in this section should be read carefully and noted to be successful in development of custom code.

Simple examples of NEST applications and components are shown.

The method for inserting the developed custom code is described. The configuration needed to submit custom component and the method of publishing components to the store is also described.

If the submitted customized component is not functioning properly the method for debugging said component is described. Testing the developed custom code is also described.

Your input is invaluable in our mission to improve the NEST platform to become a place where creative ideas flourish and take form.
