Final preparations before heading off to Denver: Collaborate'13 is awaiting! Presentations - checked, tickets/hotel reservations - checked, session schedule - che-e-e-e-e-e-e....

If you go to a good conference, some schedule conflicts are normal - there are too many good speakers and there is always not enough time slots to go (more...)

Last two years in Collab'11 and Collab'12 I was coordinating Database Development Boot-camp. That was a lot of fun, especially "mining" though abstracts for best speakers and bargaining with other coordinators about border-line topics. Also I had to learn some baby-sitting tricks, trying to get all of my selected presenters (more...)

It is almost time for Collaborate 2013. For those of you attending, here is my schedule:

• Wed. Apr. 10 8:15 am - 9:15 am session 107650 Delivering a Great User Experience via PeopleSoft Applications Portal
• Wed. Apr. 10 12:15 pm - 1:00 pm book signing at the Digital Guru on-site bookstore
• Wed. Apr. 10 4:15 pm - 5:15 pm session 107610 PeopleTools Developer: Tips & Techniques

I will also be working in the Oracle User Experience demo pod and visiting in the PeopleTools demo pod. I look forward to seeing you there!

I hate rain. I hate rain with winds blowing in all directions... But that's the cost to pay for going to NYOUG Spring Meeting! And to be fair I was glad to pay - too many good people were expected to be there... I've been presenting at NYOUG since 2002 (more...)

It was pretty long time since I've posted anything in this blog (for various reasons) - too bad, especially since there was a lot of interesting things in the IT around me worth sharing. Today I officially resurrect this blog - just can't keep myself quiet for so long :-)!

Well, it's been a really busy past few months, and I hate to admit it, but I've been neglecting this space more than anything. Despite having many different posts in the works, nothing is quite finished yet. I do have a little time to mention a few of my upcoming speaking events, though.

First, I'll be in Denver for the Rocky Mountain Oracle Users Group Training Days 2013, February 11-13.  Enkitec has more than a few sessions during the conference, ranging from Exadata to Big Data to APEX.  Check out the agenda for a full list.  Also, we'll have an (more...)

This year the book signing half hour is from 1:00 PM to 1:30 PM on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Be sure to check the bookstore signage for your favorite author's scheduled time. I will be in the bookstore during the "Meet the Authors" event on Thursday. Please bring your book and/or questions. We will have a great time discussing technology!

If you are attending OpenWorld and arrive in San Francisco before 2:15 PM this Sunday, then come to Moscone West room 3009. I will be sharing tips and concepts for building mobile applications on the PeopleTools platform. This session is open to anyone registered for OpenWorld. The session ID is SIG10516.

I've got a handful of presentations coming up in the latter part of the year, so I thought I'd add a quick post with where all I'm going to be.  Seems like I'm all over the map and I couldn't stop thinking of a game that I played way back when I was in elementary school.  Well, over the next few months, I'll be in a few places talking about Exadata, OEM, and other Oracle topics.  Here's a list of where I'll be, and what I'll be talking about.

Oracle Open World (San Francisco, CA - September 30 - October (more...)

Today I was speaking at Ekaterinburg at DUMP-IT.
Below are slides from presentation (in russian).

Wilfred van der Deijl presented "Partial and or Gradual migration by embedding existing Forms in new UI technology".

Because Oracle didn't offer a migration solution from Oracle Forms to ADF, Wilfred showed a technique to integrate existing forms applications into a new ADF application. He called it OraFormsFaces, a framework, which allows him creating hybrid applications. The non-forms part must not be ADF, so you can use other web technologies too.

This hybrid way can be used to slightly move from forms to another technology, without having Big Bangs.


In the last presentation Steven Davelaar spoke about "JHeadstart: Real world (more...)

Mia Urman started with the next presentation: "To infinity and beyond: Extend the life of your Oracle Forms application by running your existing Forms from next generation technologies/platforms without migration"

She demonstrated "next generation forms" with oraplayer. A tool, which recreates a form into a mobile version.

In the first step OraPlayer records a forms business scenario.


Then you publish it to the web. In the last step you create an UI in the technology of your choice.


While you playback the scenario you work and interact with a running forms-runtime in the background.


The presentation of Madi Serban showed (more...)

While Lucas Jellema was presenting his keynote, he had a time slot for Grant Ronald, live from UK via skype.



Grant told us about how we should develop in forms today, how to migrate today to Forms 11 and Forms 12 in the future. One sentence was very clear: "There are no plans to desupport Oracle Forms".



In the next presentation Francois Degrelle spoke about "Modernizing Forms using Pluggable Java Components and the Forms Look and Feel project".


He started with "Why should we use Java Beans in our Forms"

He demonstrated interesting java beans like a java calendar, a (more...)

Yesterday I attend at the "Future of Oracle Forms" conference in Nieuwegein, Netherland.

Great conference !

Lucas Jellema from AMIS started as host with a wide overview over the history of forms, the evolution and future of forms.

After that the day was structured into 3 parts. In the first part each speaker has 30 minutes to show the topics of his presentation. Each speaker got an additionally 45 minutes afterwards, where 3 tracks run parallel in separate rooms. Last but not least, each speaker gave a 120 minutes hands-on in the evening.

to be continued tomorrow in part 2

I got an invitation to an interesting conference in the netherlands next week (May 15th 2012).


AMIS in the netherlands is the initiator of the conference and host, too.

The conference is splitted into two parts. From 9 to 5 we will hear many presentations from the top speakers in europe. Francois Degrelle, Wilfried van der Deijl, Mia Urman and many others are on the list. In the evening we can use our own notebook to participate in hands-on-sessions!

That will be a good chance, to hear and see, what can be done to modernize your Oracle Forms.
