You will find below my abreviated,  "professional" biography (which is the reason almost everyone/anyone would want to visit this site, anyway). I will soon offer other, very tantalizing glimpses into my incredibly interesting life. But for now, I am concentrating on making sure a reasonable minimum amount sohbet of content is present on all the pages of my spanking new website. 

[ And please, please, please: forgive the third person narrative. ]

Steven Feuerstein is considered to be one of the world's leading experts on the Oracle PL/SQL language, having written ten books on PL/SQL, including Oracle PL/SQL Programming and Oracle PL/SQL Best Practices (all published by O'Reilly Media). Steven has been developing software since 1980, spent five years with Oracle (1987-1992), and has served as PL/SQL Evangelist for Quest Software since January 2001.

He is an Oracle ACE Director and writes regularly for Oracle Magazine, which named him the PL/SQL Developer of the Year in both 2002 and 2006. He is also the first recipient of ODTUG's Lifetime Achievement Award (2009).

Since 2005 he has focused his attention on improving the testing of PL/SQL programs, primarily through the creation of Quest Code Tester for Oracle, which automates PL/SQL code testing.

Steven's online technical cyberhome is located at www.ToadWorld.com/SF (a.k.a., PL/SQL Obsession).
