Collaborate07, Application Express and .Net

I spent 4 days last week in the Mandalay Bay Casino-hotel in Las Vega (not gambling, as you would think!) but attending Collaborate07 a joint IOUG, OAUG and Quest International event.
It was a crowded event according to IT standards but there was in the same time an Entertainment industry convention with 100,000+ atendees; no other convention place can beat Las Vegas!
I gave a session on new JDBC and Java in the database featureas as part of Oracle Database 11g: What's new for Java, JDBC, PHP, OCI and .Net session.
I spent the rest of my stay at the exhibition floor demoing new JDBc and Java in the database.
I was sharing the same demo pod with my colleague Carl Backstrom (the APEX guy) and Christian Shay (the .Net guy). Even though we are all from Oracle it was the opportunity to better know the cool things Oracle is doing in the areas of Application Expres (APEX) and .Net.

I encourage you to visit their blogs http://carlback.blogspot.com/index.html, http://cshay.blogspot.com/ and play with their products.

Have fun, Kuassi

Since I started to play free bingo online I have really started to get a feel for the game of bingo, so I decided to go down to my local hall. I hated it because people looked at me really peculiarly because I was a new comer, it felt quite hostile so I decided to give that a miss from now on and just play at home using online bingo, cash prizes are the same and I don’t get any agro!
