Oracle’s OpenWorld conference sure looks promising this year. Lot’s of insightful, technical in-depth sessions and personally I’m looking forward to what this years keynotes have to offer. Great new stuff? More integration of Sun and Oracle products? (It’s the first OOW since the acquisition got official.). Today I decided to offer some input in the developers power myself. On wednesday, September 22nd, at 9 am (I know, the morning glow…) I will present my CreativITy session in the Mason location at Hotel Parc 55.
This will be my third Oracle OpenWorld in a row. And although there are always very interesting sessions about (new) technologies to be found, there are almost no sessions that actually inspire and create new insights in software development.
I will try to change this during the CreativITy session on wednesday morning. CreativITy is a creative approach to software development. I’ve done this session at various places, like at the Leiden University and Fontys Hogeschool. Inspiring and tickling developers, changing the way they look at software development and delivering value. This session will be focussed on Oracle and Java developers.
How can we actually use all those new technologies presented at OOW to our (and the organizations’) benefit? And in what way can we make sure technology will thrive businesses? Become more than ‘just’ a developer and put some CreativITy into your precious work!
(note: according to the Pinceton WordNet dictionary ‘Creativity’ actually means ‘the ability to create’. Therefore all software developers are creative people by default.)
