      <description><![CDATA[This podcast is sponsored by Oracle Corp. It's about Oracle Application Express, also known as ApEx and formerly known as HTML DB.

This podcast was a fun podcast to record. In it, I interview David Peak, Application Express Product Manager from Oracle and Peter Martin, an ApEx user.

We discussed a lot of issues about ApEx including what ApEx is, how much it costs, where to get it, how does it scale, what kind of community support exists, new features in 3.0, etc. David and Peter are both very knowledgeable about ApEx and were great to interview. They both provided tidbits of information that I'm not sure you'll find anywhere else.

You can get to the podcast here: The Buzz about Oracle Application Express

I guess technically this is podcast #7 for me. Almost getting to be a habit. ;-)

      <description><![CDATA[This entry is a little bit different. It contains interviews and info from the May 10, 2007 Suncoast Oracle User Group tech day. As soon as the group publishes the current set of photos, I'll link to those. A huge part of this conference was the 11g new features presentation (there is a little excerpt included). We all had a great time. I talked to many people and all said they would come back next year. Personally, I hope we choose a different venue though. This entry comes in at 17 minutes and 45 seconds and is about a 13MB download.]]></description>
