Conference

How can we break out of the vicious cycle caused by buggy
software, and instead build wildly successful applications? First, we have to
agree on what it means for an application to be successful. Then we need to map
out the key processes and techniques that will help us guarantee that success.
This presentation identifies three main criteria of success (our code must be
correct, fast enough and maintainable) and then offers ideas to automate the
code testing process, optimize performance, and reduce the cost of maintenance.

One hour, live quiz on PL/SQL topics.

ODTUG has been holding annual PL/SQL-specific, two-day conferences in
the United States as part of their "Seriously Practical" series. The
PL/SQL developers in attendance uniformly praise OPP highly. We hope you can join us this year in Dallas.

This year, we are going to "branch out" and hold an OPP conference in Europe as well. So click here for more information and I hope to see you there.

Here's a "save the date" placeholder: I will be in Australia from August 16 to August 20, doing a series of presentations jointly sponsored by AUSOUG and Quest Software. 

I will, in particular, present at AUSOUG's 20:20 conference.

More details to come.....

I will presenting two sessions at ODTUG's Kaleidoscope conference this year: 

• Coding Therapy for Software Developers on Monday, June 28, at 2:30 PM
• High Performance L/SQL on Tuesday, June 29, at 1:30 PM

And then on Tuesday night, the first ever "PL/SQL Developer Quiz Thyself" contest, co-sponsored by ODTUG and PL/SQL Challenge - first prize is $500.

So come to the conference and take the quiz!

I will be presenting my "Coding Therapy for Software Developers" as a keynote presentation at DOAG's 2010 conference in November 2010. I was a keynote speaker in 2009 and I am honored that they asked me back in 2010. The DOAG conference is a very impressive affair, very well organized and at a great facility. I hope to see you there!

I will be presenting my "Guarantee Application Success" talk during the conference (time still to be determined). Even more exciting, on Tuesday evening, June 29, ODTUG and PL/SQL Challenge will co-sponsor the first ever "PL/SQL Developer Quiz Thyself" contest. I will present quiz questions, attendees will choose what they believe are the correct answers....and the highest scoring player will win $500! Hope to see you there....register here.

This will be the very first presentation of my brand-new, still under construction keynote address titled "Golden Rules for Developers." Here's the abstract: We all want to write better code: fewer bugs, faster algorithms, readable blocks. Yet again and again our best intentions are thwarted by...all sorts of people and things. We have, unfortunately, control over only so much of our professional lives. We generally can't do much about our managers or our users. We usually can't change the deadlines.
