Upcoming Presentations at the Midwest Oracle Users Group

Just thought I would mention as I'm getting together my materials for my trip back to the windy city that I will be presenting next week at the Midwest Oracle Users Group annual conference on Friday, November 5th.

I'll be presenting the following:

• SOA Integration & Application Development Framework: 8:15-9:15am
• Oracle Fusion Development Platform: JDeveloper & ADF : 9:15-10:15am
• RIAs and Web 2.0 made Simple: 1-2pm

If you happen to be in the Chicago area, you should attend and feel free to swing by and chat.

Larry Ellison to Unveil Oracle + Sun Strategy

Okay, I've been somewhat lax in getting new posts up for quite some time (I apologize) but plan to be better about it in the future. With the significant items coming up both at the office and personally, and then the holidays, my blogging was one of the casualties.

In any case, one of the things I've been getting bombarded with is questions regarding the proposed Sun acquisition by Oracle and what it's going to mean for both companies and their aligning products and efforts. Obviously I've been unable to comment on these, but it appears that time is coming to an end. Next week (Jan 27) Larry Ellison, along with executives from both organizations will be hosting a live event (which will be webcast) to unveil the details behind the planned acquisition.

This will be of great interest to anyone invested in either of the companies products, more details can be found here.

Cheers!

Oracle Developer Days

There are still a great number of Oracle Developer Days coming up in various towns across the US. I'll be doing the one in Salt Lake City on April 14th. Terrific training and hands-on labs help make sure that a superior level of understanding of the framework is achieved than could ever be hoped for from just a regular presentation.

The remaining upcoming dates / locations are as follows:

26-Feb: New York City
03-Mar: Dallas
10-Mar: Saint Louis
17-Mar: Reston
31-Mar: Passadena
14-Apr: Salt Lake
16-Apr: Boston

I don't have a URL for the landing page for these handy but when I do, I'll post it!
