Interview of Christof Wittig CEO of db4o
Patrice Lamarche had the opportunity to interview Christoff Wittig, CEO of db4objects.
db4objects sponsors the open source database db4o which is a native object database engine for .NET and Java.
There are several aspects that I particularly like in what I read:
- The way the company seems to work with distributed employees all around the world
- The open source development model
And from a technical aspect I really like this kind of code:
IList<Student> students = db.Query<Student>(delegate(Student student){
return student.Age < 20
&& student.Grade == gradeA;
});
It is named Native Queries, and it is 100% type safe, I like when the compiler already tells me that my code has a defect.
There are other good points about it that I will have to test, when I get time...
