ODTUG Kaleidoscope 2010

The 2010 ODTUG Kaleidoscope conference will be held this year in Washington D.C. from june 27th through july 1st. This is an Oracle event organized by the Oracle Development Tools User Groups where technical sessions and presentations are offered for everyone who are currently developing applications (or are planning to) with Oracle technologies. Some of the technical sessions are already announced here. The following looks pretty interesting to me:

• It’s Happening! On Event-Driven SOA (by Lucas Jellema). I never had the chance to see Mr. Jellema’s live presentation, but I would definitely go for this one because everytime I read something coming from him, I found myself learning new things in a simple way.
• Accessing the Oracle Database from Google (Apps, App Engine, Spreadsheets) (by Anjo Kolk). I found the purpose of the technical session very innovative because it is demonstrating how Google and Oracle can integrate together. I did had the time to try Google app engine yet and this might also be interesting from the perspective of seeing what you can achieve with it.
• How to Write Efficient SQL (by Jonathan Lewis). Sometimes developer are working on project that has dedicated DBAs for writing efficient SQL. Most of the time however, developers have to write SQL. I know I have a lot to learn in this area, so the technical session is definitely something I wouldn’t miss.

That’s it for now, I don’t know yet if I’ll have the opportunity to attend the conference, but if not, I will be definitely be watching for their slides online!
