Masood Mortazavi's Blog: August 2007 Archive

Listen to Rick Hillegas, Sun Senior Staff Engineer and Apache Derby developer, provide crisp and clear insights into uses of JavaDB. He also discusses release frequency, memory requirements, Java DB footprint and some very interesting Java DB survey results from JavaOne, including this one: Some 40% of users deploy Java DB in client-server mode. Some 60% in embedded mode.

jMaki

Project jMaki mixes and matches just about everything in Web 2.0 sight.

My highlight of this year's O'Reilly's OSCon was when Arun Gupta (and here) gave me a 15 minute tutorial on jMaki at one of the Sun booths. It was great to have such a wonderful, succinct and intelligent tutorial from Arun, with whom I worked at Java Software many years ago. Thanks Arun (and keep running :-) !

To learn more, you can take this course or check out Greg Murray's blog. (I believe Greg invented jMaki to outdo the scratch and scrounge bubbling in the midst of Web 2.0, Ajax and Javascript libraries.)
