PL/SQL (and APEX) highlight of the year: OPP Conference in Brussels, 27-28th October
Oct 13th
PL/SQL Developer Tools Session Brussels (Belgium) will be the PL/SQL Hotspot of the world during the two-day OPP 2010 (ODTUG’s Oracle PL/SQL Programming) conference – that is co-located with the APEXposed 2010 conference. These two conferences offer a wonderful opportunity for both intermediate and advanced PL/SQL and APEX programmers to learn, get inspired and meet with fellow enthousiasts and peers from all over Europe. Many of the best known names – forum-gurus, authors of books, blogs and articles and presenters – gather in Brussels to share their experiences, their ventures into uncharted territory, their best practices and most of all, their passion for the technology. More information on these two conferences is found at: http://www.odtugopp.com/agendabrussels.html . Note: the early bird registration ends on October 15th, so hurry up to get the best deal!

Oracle Open World 2008 – the show is about to begin – what are this year’s stars?
Sep 21st
It’s a very early Sunday morning in San Francisco. Over the past few days, thousands upon thousands of people arrived into the city – all connected to Oracle in some way – many of whom who were not in the least connected to Oracle only a short time ago (BEA comes to mind, among others). Today is the start of Oracle Open World 2008. With 45.000 or more attendees one of the biggest company parties in the world. A sea of red, flooding the city center.
Ever since I got on the plane with dozens of like minded souls and increasingly since I have arrived here in downtown Frisco, the big question was: what will be the major announcement of the show? Where is the spotlight going to shine? Not much gossip seems to have come out of Redwood Shores. And there are no obvious candidates really. 11gR2 is still on the drawing board it seems, the beta program not yet on its way. BEA was acquired some months ago and all plans with regard to BEA were announced in the beginnen of July. There could be another rabbit pulled out of a high hat – like Oracle Enterprise Linux in 2006 and Oracle VM in 2008.
