Getting started videos for Java and .NET area available in db4o's on-line channel.
- Freenet: a piece of free software actively funded by Google which lets you publish and obtain information on the Internet without fear of censorship. In order to reduce memory usage they are leveraging db4o by storing the current progress of uploads and downloads.
- Scala and db4o: Software developer Matthew Todd explains in this recent blog post how to code less when dealing with persistence on Scala thanks to both Scala extensibility and db4o simplicity.
- Id Generation for db4o: dVP Tuna Toksoz just implemented an explicit POID facility for db4o that doesn't rely on db4o's internal object id system or universal unique ids (UUIDs).
- Dynamic SODA: This project aims to provide an instrument that allows developers to dynamically create db4o query strings that can be executed without having to write and compile java code.
- SoftwareMonkeys: John Rebbeck from SoftwareMonkeys just released a beta version of some new db4o based projects including trackers for project and issues, requirements planning and roadmap management.
- A Q&A with db4o Refcard Co-Author Eric Falsken: In coordination with the recently published db4o .NET Refcard, the guys at DZone interviewed co-author Eric Falsken.
- domr, Standalone Object Manager: Project domr by Jin Mingjian aims to provide an RCP version of db4o OMJ (Object Manager for Java). It will be a lightweight, standalone db4o object management tool.
- MoneyTracker: dVP Christopher Brind just released his first Android sample app where persistence is handled by db4o (not sqlite). In this app you can specify a disposable amount and then add expense items showing you how much is remaining.
"I've found the object-database db4o, which fits my requirement perfectly. It is really small, less than 800 KB. It is easy, you just store your native objects, done. Retrieving the objects is also easy, because db4o supports LINQ"
