In the first known example of its kind, Oracle ACE Director for Apps Floyd Teter (@fteter) reports that his employer's org chart includes the ACE designation in his title:

Floyd works at JPL, by the way, eat your hearts out.

I crashed Silicon Valley Code Camp last Saturday AM (at Foothill College in Los Altos), and I'm glad I did.

For one, I always enjoy being on a college campus. You can smell the intellectual curiosity in the air (and sometimes other things too).

I caught Shay Shmeltzer's talk on "What's Wrong with JSF", in which he cataloged the advantages of using a framework such as Oracle ADF to shore up JSF's weaknesses:

and also spent some time in Ted Young's introduction to Agile programming, and a Sun-Bebo-Yahoo panel on Web scalability, which was geeky to the nth degree. (And in which the Sun employee, in self-serving fashion, attempted to argue that OpenSolaris should be the preferred choice over Linux for AMP-based startups that need to scale. Hmmmm.) Unfortunately, due to a family vacation on Sunday, I missed Pieter Humphrey's hands-on lab for "Building and Deploying Applications with Oracle WebLogic Server 10gR3 and Eclipse", as well as Mark Wilcox's "Prototyping User/Role Management with Oracle Virtual Directory and Oracle Database XE", but maybe those guys want to comment here about how their sessions were received?

On the upside, I did get to have an African safari-like experience at Safari West in Santa Rosa. Sorry guys, rhinos and cheetahs got all my attention on Sunday.

You can explore the twitter feed from the camp here.

We have completed the migration of BEA Dev2Dev and Arch2Arch newsgroup content to forums.oracle.com; the content is now available in the form of a searchable, read-only archive. Nice!

With the publication of Oracle ACE Director Lucas Jellema's 2-part article about implementing cell highlighting in rich enterprise applications (REAs) based on JSF/ADF Faces, OTN has dived into REA evangelism with full force.

The production release of JDeveloper and ADF 11g - with its Rich Faces components - are what make this possible. We can now commit ourselves to churning out actionable content that will help you get started building REAs without further ado.

OTN Developer Day workshops are another great resource in this area, because their sole agenda is to bring you up to speed about how to build these new apps in a hands-on environment. We have a few other things up our sleeves in this area, as well.

For this reason, I find the recent comments by Google's Dave Girouard (coming out of the Web 2.0 Summit) a little misinformed; REAs (as enabled by ADF 11g) are designed specifically to resolve the "disconnect between the innovation and user experiences delivered in the consumer world and the stagnant, unenlightened world of enterprise computing" that he spoke of. This approach, in fact, is the essence of Fusion development - the fruits of which we all hope to see soon.
