Young Programmer's Camp

I made a short post over at ToadWorld about bringing my nephew to my office in Dallas this week for a Young Programmer's camp. He had a great time as far as I could gauge the excitement of a 16 year old boy (errrrrr....young man)! He rocked it out creating several different game knock-offs and got a feel for what it would be like to be a software developer. Fun stuff!

Blogging at Toad World

In order to help me stick to my commitment to blog more regularly, I've joined the blogging community at Toad World. I'll link to most posts from there as I make them (I love knocking down two targets with one arrow) and keep on track for at least one post a week moving forward. Yea!

You can read my brief hello over at Toad World here. Stay tuned in the weeks ahead for a series of posts on Oracle performance, SQL and the optimizer. I'm going to start with a few posts on code instrumentation and move on to cover many of the suggested topics I received from you all. 

Cheers!
