[ Work ] Last Day in Bangalore

This is my last day in Bangalore and I'll be leaving the Sun office here in a few minutes to go to the hotel to collect my luggage and take a cab to the airport. It has been a great trip. We have had several very productive meetings, and I had the good fortunate of meeting some of the great folks at Sun, India Engineering Center, Bangalore. It made me particularly proud to meet folks from databases, documentation, SunMC and Sailfin ... What great teams!

This has been my second visit to Bangalore and I already know I'll be missing the city, friends and colleagues who are based here. I certainly look forward to seeing them again, either here or in other Sun sites or facilities. It has certainly been a great honor to have a chance to come here and to make and renew friendships. 

(If time allows, I will write some more later.)

[ Technology ] A Database for Nomadic Users

Listen to Roger Brinkley interview Rick Hillegas about Java DB.

Java DB (Sun's distribution of Apache Derby) continues to prosper.

The potential for deployment in mobile devices and nomadic applications can be tremendous, while its ease of use and deployment continue to make it attractive in client-server modes.
