Editorial Reviews

From the reviews:

"The book is a guide to db4o, a tool for building object database management systems. … This well-designed book covers the programming techniques with Java 1.4 and 1.5 and .NET 1.1 and 2.0; the authors also show that db4o supports both Java and C#. The concepts of object-oriented programming are covered well. … The position of db4o in the world of relational data is discussed throughout the book. This makes for interesting reading." (S. Balaraman, ACM Computing Reviews, Vol. 49 (2), February, 2008)
