June 2010 Architect Community Newsletter
Focus on: Wetware Upgrades Let's face it, IT is not a good career choice for those who enjoy resting on their laurels. For architects in particular, dealing with change is a critical part of the job. Keeping up with a learning curve that looks more like a ninety-degree angle is as much about continuing education as it is about continuing employment. So this edition of Oracle's Architect Community newsletter features a couple of items from Oracle University that'll help you upgrade your gray matter and stay on top of your game. Of course, digging into the rest of the content in this newsletter won't cost you any brain cells, either. —The Oracle Technology Network Team (See Team Blog)
