From webobjects_lists at webappz.com Sun Oct 15 20:48:38 2006 From: webobjects_lists at webappz.com (Gaastra Dennis - WO Lists) Date: Sun Oct 15 20:48:49 2006 Subject: Any objections to FrontBase? Message-ID: Dear List, We are starting a large new WebObjects project. The client does not appear to be worried about name-brand databases. Since FrontBase is now free, and this project might require multiple deployments, we thought FrontBase might be a good choice. We have used it until 5 years ago and were happy with it at that time. A couple of concerns we have is that it may have lost its glory. Do they still make money from support/consulting to warrant continuing the development of their product? Will it run on Leopard?Their website looks very dated with all testimonials from before 2000. Does it support 64 bit? Can you manually set the caching in memory to a very high amount? Thanks for any insight you might have. With Kind Regards, Dennis Gaastra, M.B.A.[sfu.ca], B.Sc.[ubc.ca] Chief Technology Officer, WEBAPPZ Systems, Inc.

References: Message-ID: <001301c6f3ff$f1695520$1800a8c0@CHNGXP> Deployed a few sites with FrontBase since two year ago and one of them is still using daily without any reporting problems. The version I am using is 3.xx and frankly, their support and response to queries are amazingly good (last one, two years. Have not tried now.). Current deployment with Linux is also working well. Yes, I shared the same view and FrontBase may be lost its glory, however they have give the enterprise licensing fees FREE (used to be more than 40KUSD, if not mistaken). I have tried it out with my sites and the database restoration and backup are wonderful. This feature is yet to be improved in MYSQL (recently tested with latest version.) I would say if my client does not mind what name-brand of database, I would still vote for WO/FrontBase for their supports and ease to use. My shared bits & Good luck!

Message-ID: <162E661B-D45C-4728-9165-4850B2E80A85@pgp.com> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Greetings all. I'm looking for a really talented developer in the SF Bay Area. We're not interested in someone remote, nor in contracts, right now. We may be able to arrange a visa for a really stellar candidate - I'll check on that if it turns out to be necessary. PGP is good company to work for - we have a solid team and a good rapport with our client departments. We're a WO shop, but not exclusively, and we integrate and work with a lot of other technologies including the inevitable Web 2.0 buzzwords, so we can teach the right candidate WO as necessary. PGP is looking for a Senior Java/WebObjects engineer to join the team responsible for the internal systems that handle all sales, product configuration, and order management. The position offered is for a senior engineer, so we hope you're bringing new areas of expertise to the team. You'd be joining a small- to-medium group, working on a project comprised of ~6 frameworks and 12-15 applications, some customer facing and some entirely internal and/or background processes. This position doesn't require knowledge of public key cryptographic mathematics, though enthusiasm for security and privacy certainly doesn't hurt. PGP currently uses XML, CastIron, and EDI to communicate order information with partners, and experience with those or other technologies such as direct J2EE, familiarity with Oracle, etc are beneficial but not necessary. Responsibilities Working with other departments to develop ironclad specifications documents. Design and implement larger features. Assisting other engineers in areas of domain or technical expertise within the system. Integration with business partners and other internal systems (eg license engine, order processing) Requirements: All requirements are above all approximations to what 'Senior Engineer' means. Some guidelines: * BS in Computer Science or equivalent. * 5+ years of enterprise experience. * Experience writing specifications and requirements documents * Excellent organization, communication and interpersonal skills. Beneficial: * Strong background with WebObjects/Java (Objective C experience is significant, too) * Oracle/database familiarity * Web 2.0 buzzwords-of-choice (ruby, ajax, etc) About PGP Corporation PGP Corporation is a recognized worldwide leader in secure messaging and data storage, with a broad installed base of corporate and government users, individual users, and many of the world's largest and most security-sensitive enterprises and governments.
