Summary: Build a calendar and reminder application using the Java™ language and the Apache Derby database in Part 1 of this three-part tutorial series. This tutorial starts by showing you how to install the database and exploring interactions with it through Java Database Connectivity (JDBC). Parts 2 and 3 will examine different options for including Derby in your application and Derby's transactional capabilities as we move from a single-user to a multiuser system. Finally, we'll move to a multimode system that includes a Web interface.
