Starting webinar series with Tips and Tricks for Oracle SOA Suite

I've been talking about this for a couple years now, but finally did it. The initial idea is that we have offered a very popular Open World panel session, called "Oracle SOA Suite Tips and Tricks from Oracle Engineering and A-team" (and this year added a customer to the panel), and there is no reason we can't bring this content to a much wider audience via webinar. So we have scheduled that for next Tuesday, Jan 12, at 9AM PST (San Francisco time for those of you overseas...).

But beyond the initial webinar, we would like to extend this into a larger series, with the idea being to promote greater sharing of knowledge and expertise with the SOA Suite community at large. I have the commitment of the A-team management team and I think lots of good content can come from engineering, partners as well as customers. So, please check out the information below and register for the session, and/or share this information with your colleagues and associates.

And, please email me any suggestions you have for future topics or proposals you have to present content of your own.

Finally, in a bold sales pitch, if you have a need to find the right SOA Suite expertise or to improve your own organization's execution, capacity, strategy, resolve issues, etc, please don't hesitate to reach out to me at dave@middleworks.com.

Tips and Tricks for Oracle SOA Suite by Oracle A-Team, Engineering, and Customers
Sponsored by Oracle SOA Suite product team and Middleworks
Tuesday, January 12, 2016
9:00 am  |  Pacific Standard Time (San Francisco, GMT-08:00)  |  1 hr
Join us as we recreate one of the most popular Oracle Open World sessions around the Oracle SOA Suite and deliver it to the world via webinar format. We are hoping this webinar will be the first of many and we plan to expand this into a series to create a more robust information sharing community around SOA Suite, including the Oracle product management and engineering teams, A-team, customers and partners. For this first session, we are delivering an expanded version of the OOW "Tips and Tricks for Oracle SOA Suite" session, which is always delivered to a packed room. In the webinar version, we will be able to provide a little more time to each of the speakers and topics, which are:

     - Joe Kardamis from The Sherwin-Williams Company, talking about agile development methodology with SOA
    - Antony Reynolds from the Oracle Service (SOA) & Cloud Integration Product Management team, talking about error handling and managing your dehydration store
    - Sherwood Zern of the Oracle A-Team with some common issues seen in Oracle Service Bus implementations
    - David Shaffer (dave@middleworks.com) of Middleworks, sharing tips from the SOA engineering team on working with large schemas in JDeveloper's XSLT mapping tool

The content for this session is fast, focused and highly technical, with extra materials and links to documentation provided in the slides for attendees future reference. We encourage you to come with your related project questions and ask them during the Q&A periods. If you are working actively with the Oracle SOA Suite, we guarantee you will walk away with some truly useful information! Note: Total attendees for the webinar may be limited, and since we are not sure how popular this event will be, we encourage you to pre-register and join the webinar a few minutes early. All who register will receive invitations to future related events and the ability to access a recording of the webinar in case you have any trouble connecting.

After your request has been submitted, you'll receive instructions for joining the meeting. Can't register? Contact support.
