User Group

I must have done something right; the Utah OUG has asked me back for their 2010 Training Days. I still haven't finalized my keynote topic; I go "on stage" a day after Tom Kyte. Hard act to follow. :-)

A presentation to the Dallas Oracle User Group (DOUG) of my most entertaining and eye-opening talk on how human physiology (our genes) and psychology (how our parents raised us) have an enormous impact on how we write software. Join me for dream therapy, shock therapy, couples therapy, and more.

On February 17-18, 2009 I will attend for the first time ever the Rocky Mountain Oracle User Group Training Days conference. I am doing two sessions:

I will follow up my presentations at the UKOUG conference with talks at the Toad User Group, also held in Birmingham. This is a great complement to the more general UKOUG sessions - a laser-like focus on Quest's Toad family of products. Especially exciting this year: the release of Toad 10, with Unicode support, enhanced data modeling and other new features. For more info, contact Quest UK. See you there!

PS - Also my 26th wedding anniversary. So what the heck am I doing in Birmingham?

I will be presenting twice in Birmingham:

• High Performance PL/SQL
• Writing Maintainable PL/SQL Programs

UKOUG conferences are always lots of fun. High level of technical experience, great questions, solid appreciation of PL/SQL. I look forward to my return. Click here for more information on conference.

I will making a keynote presentation at the annual DOAG conference on November 18.

I will be doing two presentations at the next MOUG conference:

2:15 p.m. Coding Therapy for Software Developers3:30 p.m. Automated testing for Oracle PL/SQL

I will also be selling signed copies of my brand-new Oracle PL/SQL Programming, 5th Edition (cash or check only).

So if you live in the Chicago area, come on over!
