Technical Tutorials
The following are some "How-To" style tutorials I've published on sites such as IBM DeveloperWorks over the years. Hopefully you'll find them helpful.
- Isolated unit testing with Derby: A tutorial on IBM's Developerworks site that provided practical examples of using the embedded Java database for creating maintainable and effective unit tests. Step by step examples provide practice with Eclipse and DbUnit. (October, 2005)
- Build a Derby Calendar, Part 3 (Using Transactions and Locking): I provided the example application code for this tutorial written by Nicholas Chase. The calendar application I wrote shows some useful Swing techniques while illustrating the transaction isolation levels available using JDBC and the Derby database. (September, 2005)
- Easily creating Windows desktop shortcuts when your Java application is installed by IzPack. (July, 2005)
- Secure Remote Database Access Useful for traversing firewalls to get at a hidden database server such as MySQL. (June, 2004)
- Setting up a Secure Email Server with IMAP, POP3, SMTP, and Webmail (April, 2003)
