- Rhodes Mobile Framework: A startup called Rhomobile announced the first formal release of its dual-licensed, open-source framework for smartphones. Rhodes 1.0 enables "write-once" development, using HTML and Ruby, of native smartphone applications for iPhone, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, Symbian, and now Android. Taking up about 2MB on a mobile device, Rhodes enables users to work offline with synchronized local data via a local database such as db4o or SQLite.
- db4o with JavaFX: A detailed blog by db4o expert patrick Roemer about how to use db4o on JavaFX. On Patrick's own words: "db4o plays surprisingly well with JavaFX, even in the case of multiple inheritance. While Native Queries basically just work out of the box, SODA requires the programmer to make some assumptions about the compiler implementation, and the resulting code certainly cannot be called elegant, but on the bottom line it works"
- Live Demo Website Powered by db4o: Jozsef Gabor shows us his live db4o based website. Check out the interview and a small web application demo that can be a starting point for integrating db4o with web applications. If you want to try db4o in a Java based web app this is highly recommendable.
- Spring DB4O Extension: Oliver Lietz is now managing the Spring db4o extension. The extension is still in incubation and needs documentation and examples. Some issues have been fixed to get it work in a project running on OSGi/Spring DM.
"When I first found db4o a year ago, I was, and still am, convinced that it answered all my prayers regarding the true object-oriented model"
