Last week I visited ODTUG KScope15 in Hollywood Florida. In this post I will share my findings and hope that you can benefit from it. My general impression of the conference is that it was to hot for me in Florida. At least to hot for a conference. If you can sit on the beach whole day long, it is a great place to be, but hey, I had to work.... From a content perspective, there was a whole lot of Mobile and Cloud, and just a tiny bit of ADF. We need to work on this for next year as per request of the attendees who really were asking for more ADF content. Anyway, here is my week in a nutshell. Saturday Not much to do after an 18 hour trip. So when I arrived at the hotel the only thing to do was enjoy the view and get some Cuban food . What better place to do that then in Southern Florida. The food was good and I went there again during the week. Sunday The Sunday symposium was a very good one from an Oracle ADF Developer Perspective. The Sunday Symposium took a deep look at th...

Sunday symposium took of at 8:30. Unfortunately i had to skip the first two session due to some work That had to be done first. The first session I really got to attend was Brian Fry's session on Oracles Developer Cloud Service. JDeveloper, Eclipse or Netbeans was the way you would work with Oracle Developer Cloud. Now there is a new feature (not publicly available) that is a browser based IDE. It is a full development environment. It is a very flexible, responsive and quick UI. it has an integrated out of the box GIT repository. It can be used for both JavaScript, and Java EE and java SE. Oracle uses the DevCS to build the DevCS with over 145 developers using 27 GIT repositories. So oracle now is drinking their own champagne, which sounds much better then eating their own dog food by the way.        The demo was nice and showed the power of the Javascript editor and the integrated support with GIT. also the Java editor looked very promising. We will have ...

Yesterday ODTUG organised the ODTUG Mobile Day in Utrecht the Netherlands. The event was supported by two local user groups, OGh and OBUG, and sponsored by eProseed NL. This full-day event was dedicated to Oracle's next-generation mobile development, infrastructure, and security solutions: "Going Mobile? Where is Oracle Taking You?". All of this was presented by the world’s leading ACE Directors and ACEs, Lonneke Dikmans – Oracle ACE Director Dimitri Gielis – Oracle ACE Director Roel Hartman – Oracle ACE Director Mark Rittman – Oracle ACE Director Mia Urman – Oracle ACE Director Luc Bors – Oracle ACE and several Oracle speakers. Session abstract are published at the ODTUG website . These top experts in the field showed how to implement the latest mobile advancements from the newest technologies, such as Oracle Mobile Cloud infrastructure to building BI mobile dashboards to a deep dive into APEX security for mobile to the latest features in Ora...

I landed only a couple of hours ago and here's my report form Kscope 2012 in San Antonio. As I write this, KScope is still waking up for the final day. Anyway, for me KScope was over yesterday. The venue, the JW Marriott San Antonio, was IMHO somewhat in the middle of nowhere, which is a pity given the fact that downtown San Antonio is beautiful. It took the free shuttle bus about 35 minutes to get there. Anyway, I was not around for site seeing, I was visiting the conference. At the conference I joined the Fusion Middleware track, not only as an attendee but also as a presenter of two sessions.. With over 30 sessions and the Sunday Symposium, this years FMW track again was a very usefull track for everyone that wanted to learn about FMW.Most of the session where ADF related, however there were a couple of webcenter and SOA sessions as well. Sunday The FMW Sunday symposium started with a status update for Oracle ADF. Three product managers (sorry...

From June 26th to June 30th the KScope 11 conference was in Long Beach California. Nice setting for a great conference. It was the first time that KScope had a Fusion Middleware Track. For me it was a very busy conference with three presentations, handson workshops, live demonstrations and a Boff session with the EMG. In this post some of my highlights. Friday and Saturday On Friday in the airplane and Saturday in Long Beach I wrote a review for Sten Vesterli's book. The review can be found here on the AMIS Technology Blog. Sunday Symposium The symposium started very early. That is 7.30 including breakfast and registration. Then some great sessions on ADF and SOA and Webcenter. Chris Muir and John King talked about ADF, Sten Vesterli and Hajo Norman about WebCenter, Lonneke Dikmans and Chris Judson talked about SOA and BPM. Finally Madhuri Kolhatkar \was presenting on User Experience Design Patterns. She pointed out a very usefull resource where you can find OBIEE Design Patterns...
