I felt like doing something new last weekend, so I went ahead and created Oracle in 3 Minutes, a new “show” on blip.tv. I plan to produce one three-minute episode a week. An episode is basically an audio and video screencast.
Each episode includes a demonstration and a presentation about fundamental Oracle concepts and coding techniques you may have forgotten about, in addition to cool and useful things I learn during my day to day experience with Oracle tools and products.
To start, I chose multi-versioning in the Oracle database as the topic of the first episode:

This is a great concept and an essential refresher for veterans of oracle technology and newbies alike.
I very much appreciate your community efforts, please keep it going.

Thanks for posting this. A fundamental Oracle concept but not one that is necessarily easy to explain.
I think the worked example and format worked really well.
Cheers, Andy
November 27th, 2007, at 2:38 pm #Thanks. Now the challenge is to produce 3 minutes every week. It sounds easy, but preparation takes much more than 3 minutes. The good thing is that I enjoy it.
