Where was I?

While I was away for meetings at Sun Microsystems's India Engineering Center, Eileen Alan of SDN channel posted a recent conversation I had with Kuldip Oberoi about Java DB and Apache Derby. I think Kuldip and I touched on a number of important topics about the technology, the business and Sun's general strategy behind Sun's Java DB work, and it is certainly very exciting to see the uptake by the user and developer community. It would be even more exciting as we see Java DB used for more and more database courses. I know Sun's Java DB (Apache / Derby) engineers are coming up with some very cool features and applications, too ... For a glimpse of what might be coming up, take a look at Rick Hillegas' "Saucer Separation" presentation given at ApacheCon (Atlanta, Nov. 2007) ... You might also want to check out the upcoming JavaME conference (Santa Clara, Jan. 2008) and check out JavaPolis (Anwerp, Dec. 2007), where there may be up to 4 Java DB related talks, Francois Orsini tells me. So, stay tuned, and in the meantime, don't forget to check out Orsini's blog!


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.)
