Real-world Apache Derby: Who needs Ajax, anyway?
Asynchronous JavaScript + XML (Ajax) is a dynamite technique for greatly enhancing the user experience on the Web. But it pays to remember that it's only necessary because of the distance between the information source and the browser. Shorten that distance, and much of the need for Ajax goes away. This tutorial -- the second in this series on Apache Derby database use -- offers an alternate technique, one that allows reuse across several different environments. 		19 Dec 2006

Two ways to build Apache Derby database applications in JRuby
JRuby is an implementation of the Ruby programming language that runs in the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). This tutorial demonstrates how to install and configure JRuby to connect to the Apache Derby database. As Ruby and Ruby on Rails become more popular, JRuby becomes an interesting technology to leverage the portability, security, and class libraries of the JVM while using Ruby features like simple syntax and closures. If you're writing a small application that needs a relational database, or you want to be able to ship a database with your product, then the Derby database is an excellent choice for a persistence mechanism. This tutorial shows you two methods of connecting to and building Derby database applications from JRuby. 		30 Jan 2007

Use Apache Derby in your OpenLaszlo applications, Part 1: Supplying data using Derby
Since OpenLaszlo's open source announcement, many developers have been using OpenLaszlo to create user-friendly, rich Internet applications. Many of these applications require a database solution to have dynamic data fed to them. Because OpenLaszlo runs on Apache Tomcat by default, which in turn supports JavaServer Pages (JSP) and servlets (Java technology), Apache Derby is an excellent database to use. It can be embedded in such applications, and Derby is written in pure Java code. This tutorial uses an example of an online grocery store to illustrate the power of using OpenLaszlo with Apache Derby. 		21 Mar 2006  
 
Use Apache Derby in your OpenLaszlo applications, Part 2: Storing and embedding data
Since OpenLaszlo's open source announcement, many developers have been using OpenLaszlo to create user-friendly rich Internet applications. Many of these applications require a database solution to have dynamic data fed to them. Because OpenLaszlo runs on Apache Tomcat by default, which supports JavaServer Pages (JSP) and servlets (Java), Apache Derby is an excellent database to use because it can be embedded in such applications and because Derby is written in pure Java code. In this tutorial, you'll build a management interface to the online shopping console created in Part 1. You'll also allow orders to be written to the database and enable management to edit, delete, and add new items to the database via the OpenLaszlo user interface (UI). 		25 Apr 2006

Run PHP applications in Apache Geronimo
PHP has been a popular scripting language for some time. However, with the growing buzz over Java technology and Apache Geronimo, a J2EE-certified application server, many experienced developers shy away from using PHP with Geronimo, because only JavaServer Pages (JSP) is supported out of the box. The PHP Java Bridge solves this problem by providing full support for PHP on Geronimo and for sharing sessions across both PHP and JSP scripts. 		07 Feb 2006
