Masood Mortazavi's Blog

Masood Mortazavi wrote his first Java applet, including a motion planning algorithm to navigate through 2-d obstacles on a plane, to examine the limits of Java Programming in 1995. He joined Java Software in 1999 as part of the original J2EE team. He developed distributed transaction hooks in RMI-IIOP and led the development team for GIOP 1.2 upgrade. As a member of the carrier-grade J2EE project at Sun, he started a number of collaborations with SMI's mobile telecommunications partners. Masood has worked at Nasa Ames (Sterling Software), on DARPA projects (Teknowledge Corp.) and on satellite ground systems (Hughes). He has graduate degrees in business (Berkeley), journalism (Berkeley) and scientific computing (Ph.D. in computational fluid dynamics). He did several years of graduate work in logic and methodology of science at Berkeley. Currently, he manages a team of Sun engineers who contribute to open-source database communities such as Apache / Derby and PostgreSQL. He maintains a separate weblog at blogs.sun.com.

Java DB 10.4.1

Results: A great team. A great product. A great community!

If you're a serious user of Java DB (and/or of Apache Derby) and plan to use this product in your business, you should consider the multi-platform, software support services for Java DB -- Sun's distribution of Apache Derby -- available at some amazing bargain prices at various service plan levels.

Sun provides support service plans for Java DB, which is, for all practical purposes, identical to Apache Derby.
