The deadline for early registration for RMOUG Training Days 2018 is rapidly approaching. The deadline is January 12. The early registration fee is $385 for RMOUG members and $450 for non-members. There is a packed agenda over the three-day event. The hotel costs are reasonable at $159/night which is very good compared to the hotel prices at the vendor conferences in San Francisco. RMOUG is reasonably priced and high quality training. With all of the change going on with cloud computing and some of the database systems that are competing with Oracle now I am looking forward to hearing from other people about how they are adapting in this changing climate.
I am giving two talks which are both about personal development for DBAs. One is about whether a DBA should learn the Python programming language. The other is about whether DBAs could benefit from communication and leadership training through Toastmasters. Here are the dates and times for my two talks:
Toastmasters for the Oracle DBA
Thursday, February 22
Session 12, 1:30 pm – 2:30 pm
Python for the Oracle DBA
Thursday, February 22
Session 14, 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm
As things change it makes sense for DBAs to continue to develop themselves and I think that my talks and the conference in general will help us to move forward by preparing us to meet the challenges that the future will bring. I hope to see you in Denver and don’t forget to register by January 12.
