DBeaver

Hi all

Today I want speak about one of the best DB Client tool in the market : DBeaver .

Why it's so good : 

1) It's an open source project, here github page. 

2) It's multi DB, instead to have many DB client, one for every DB. 

3) It's fast and light.

Before to discover it, I'm using for Oracle DB, ToaD and SQLDeveloper, both of them don't satisfy any of points above.

Actually I am using it for Oracle, Sqlite, Mysql and PostgreSQL.  

Actually, when I write this post, last version is 24.0.0, new versions are released with a great frequency and behind it there are a large community.   

So download it and enjoy.

Stay tuned. 

Devtranet

 Hi all

Today I want to speak about a a new place for developers to connect, share projects, blog, and find collaborators called Devtranet.

Really It's a great site and a space for developers to share ideas, projects and stuffs.

It's was created and co-founded by Ibrahim Salami a very young developer.

Actually it's a beta site, but I guess will be a success.

Stay tuned.
