Now I’ll just have to wait for my hosting providers to upgrade to 5.3.0…
Google App Engine now supports Java. The environment contains:
…a Java 6 JVM, a Java Servlets interface, and support for standard interfaces to the App Engine scalable datastore and services, such as JDO, JPA, JavaMail, and JCache.
There is also a Google Plugin for Eclipse available.
Check out the Getting Started: Java guide for a simple tutorial on how to develop and deploy a Java project on Google App Engine or read more on the Google App Engine blog.
I’ve long been a phpMyAdmin user. Even though I’m quite confident working with MySQL via the command line client, a graphical interface just makes the workflow faster. A GUI also makes it easier to overlook your databases, tables and table data. So phpMyAdmin has been perfect. It has now found a conqueror though: SQL Buddy (found via theDailyApp). SQL Buddy is a free, open source application that basically offers the same functionality as phpMyAdmin, but SQL Buddy comes with a slicker GUI than phpMyAdmin, and an extremely easy setup routine (just unzip the files in a folder on your web server, point your browser to the folder, login and go!). So farewell phpMyAdmin, you’ve been overpowered, and welcome, SQL Buddy!
