Well I just got back from presenting a week long blast of JDeveloper + ADF for European partners in Dusseldorf, Germany. It was my first time in Germany and while cold, it was quite interesting. At least the food was good, mostly meat and potatoes and lots of it fried. Yummy.
The training went well, the attendees seemed very interested in the material and we had a wide enough range of topics that everyone got something out of it. The newly initiated got the high level details and those that had been using the suite for a few versions got a deep dive on the new features (task flows, libraries, the ADF controller, phase listeners, etc).
I'm very pleased to be involved in this aspect of the product. When I was in consulting the biggest hurdle I had with getting clients to buy in on the Oracle development stack was the learning curve. With this week long event, people are introduced to the framework and the hands-on materials give them enough exposure to actually jump right into development when they leave.
Back home it is the usual, supporting key adopters, and our internal development. I just completed a paper for ODTUG on JDeveloper 11g and the integrated WebLogic container. I think it is going to be published in May for the conference. I've been doing a lot more writing lately and thoroughly enjoy it as well. At some point I'm going to have to begin publishing some of those materials online as well. When I do that I'll link them in through here.
Preparations for Oracle Open World have already begun. If you're utilizing Oracle technology that is the one conference to be sure you don't miss.
Well, back to the mill stone...
