Welcome

Thank you for visiting this blog.  I hope to link to some very interesting tech news and information here.  Some of the posts may be very technical, others may be more general in nature.  We'll see how things play out.

I've been is software development for about fifteen years.  I started using a pure OO programming language called Smalltalk.  A lot of the Smalltalk applications that I worked on interfaced to Oracle databases.  This is where I slowly migrated into the Oracle arena.  Over the last ten years, my primary focus has been developing custom applications that fit into the Oracle ERP suit or extend the functionality that Oracle provides.  I've used a variety of Oracle development tools like Oracle Forms, Oracle Reports, SQL, and PL/SQL.

Recently, I've been doing more and more development in some of Oracle's more recent offerings:  SOA, BPEL, and OA Framework.  I'm hoping to post some problems, challenges that I faced as I have been learning and using these new technologies.
