Oracle Scene issue 38 now available (members only)

In this edition we have a topical article from Satnam Brar on recession proofing your career in 2009, something that I think we’ll all find useful given the ups and downs in the economy over the past year or so. In the applications area, Duncan Scattergood talks us through building the business case for Siebel 8.0 and 8.1 upgrades, whilst Tim Poynter takes us through some best practices for the Oracle User Productivity Kit, a great toolkit from Oracle for efficiently delivering end-user training over the internet.

From the technology perspective, Timothy Stewart writes about “Locks, the Skeleton Key” whilst Bob Mycroft finishes his two-part series on Load Balancing and Failover on RAC. David Kurtz explains how the ReUse Statement Flag can provide performance benefits when working with the Peoplesoft Application Engine, whilst ApEx developers will be interested in the two articles on ApEx development, one by Roel Hartman on Forms to ApEx conversion and the other by Andrew Woodward on using ApEx in a multi-user environment.
