Join us on Wednesday, February 8, for our keynote presentation by Connor McDonald with the Oracle Developer Advocates Team.
Ask Tom and the Art of Problem Solving
Connor McDonald is a former Oracle ACE Director who has joined the Oracle Developer Advocates Team. Over the past 18 years, he has worked with systems in Australia, the United Kingdom, Southeast Asia, Western Europe, and the United States. He has co-authored three books and has been a popular speaker at Oracle conferences around the world, specializing in topics regarding the database engine and PL/SQL. He has twice won the Inspirational Speaker award from the UK Oracle User Group in 2009 and 2011.
It has been just over a year since the reins of Ask Tom were handed over to Connor McDonald and the Oracle Developer Advocates Team. This session is a “fireside chat” of his experiences of stepping into Tom’s large shoes and what it has revealed to him regarding the art of problem solving, the importance of the global Oracle development community, and the scope of features available within Oracle technology.

Power BI Desktop Essentials: Getting Started Organizations today, from startups to the largest of enterprises, face challenges with data. Employees are overwhelmed with the data and making sense of it.

In this session, we’ll show you how to get started with Power BI Desktop. Main presentation Paul Stanton is a co-founder at Windocks, with over twenty years of experience at Intel and Microsoft, and recently has focused on cross platform solutions for Windows for Cloud Foundry, Red Hat’s OpenShift, and now in an independent port of Docker’s open source for Windows. “Containers and Clones for SQL Server Development and Test” Microsoft emphasizes the use of containers for development and test on SQL Server 2017, and new solutions from Red Gate and Windocks add support for containers and SQL Server database database cloning, for the full range of the SQL Server family. We’ll explore use of Docker based tooling for delivery of container environments, and their pros and cons. We’ll also look at SQL Server cloning, and how clones enable Dev and Test teams to work on large database environments for containers as well as existing SQL Server instances. at 5:30 pm

Introduction to the Delphix Dynamic Data Platform Wednesday, October 4 2017 - 10:00AM MDT Tune-in to the webinar to hear Patrick Lightbody, SVP of Products unpack how the Delphix Data Platform can deliver faster, secure and flexible data for your most important projects: • Application and Data Acceleration: Companies can now treat data like code by recording every change and reconstruction to any point in time. Storing, compressing and replicating data in near-real time means data no longer slows businesses down. • Data Privacy and Security: Enterprises can prevent unintentional release of sensitive data with control over access, retention, and audits. They can also mask sensitive data in critical applications to prevent release of personally identifiable information. • Cloud Adoption: Enterprises moving data to the cloud can move massive amounts of data once but still refresh it from on-premise or hybrid sources. at 10:00 am

451 Research: Achieving Faster Access to Secure Data In a DataOps Environment Thursday, October 12 2017 - 10:00AM MDT We really do believe a dataops platform seriously changes the game. Data consumers are being asked by the business to go faster and innovate faster. Data operators are being asked to secure the data and make sure that it can scale and that nothing is lost and that it’s all backed up. They’re all doing the right thing, and yet there’s this incredible amount of friction in large part because it’s a reactive model. It’s always about the consumers asking the operators to provision a new data source or to back up to the last refresh to the last snapshot of production from two months ago. at 10:00 am - Free ODTUG WebinarFree ODTUG Webinar
