Mobile, Cloud, Oracle 12c: Oracle with 20:20 Foresight

The Australian Oracle User Group is holding the Oracle with 20:20 Foresight National Conference in Perth, 29-30 October. Yikes, that’s only 3 weeks away – if you’re in Perth, you have to sign up right now. If you’re not in Perth, grab your skateboard or canoe (depending on the intervening terrain) and get over here!

We’re going to be treated with talks by Tom Kyte, Connor McDonald, Chris Muir, Scott Wesley, Graham Wood and many others. Check out the conference program to see what’s on offer. A lot of the topics seem to be very Mobile and Cloudy…

I’ll be presenting twice, if you’re interested I’d love to see you there:

1. Alexandria – A Guided Tour – an overview of just a few of the goodies that you’ll find in the Alexandria PL/SQL Library, and how you can use them out-of-the-box to do things that you might have thought could not be done in PL/SQL.

2. Top 20 Gotchas with Old Database Versions – most probably you’ll be working with Oracle 10g or 11g nowadays – but sometimes you don’t have a choice but to deal with older versions like 8i or 9i. If so you may very well pick up a few hints and tips that will save you time and headaches.

If you missed out on that “open world” conference, you’ll have to come and hear about the new features planned for Oracle 12c. Even if you did manage to get to that big conference, you’ll want to come to this one as well, not least because it’s in beautiful sunny Perth 🙂
