A week of content management

An exhausting week of training lays behind me. I'm only just recovering!

Oracle made another acquisition, added to their Fusion Middleware line (which to me, is "apps that do stuff, with nothing in common"). Stellent content server has been Universal Content management, and we were lucky enough to have a week with a trainer who had been working with the product for a decade.

The product looks smooth, the core architecture is true SOA. That is, SOA from the start, not services slapped on top of an application. Features seem to be strongly influenced by necessity. The main complaint in the class was: admin interface is ugly, and things aren't where I expect.

For me it seemed fairly obvious :) But no bragging, because liking an interface that was so obviously programmer-designed, isn't something to be proud of! ;)

I cruised through the week.. and hacked through the product after finishing all the exercises early.. and the verdict is; I can't wait to get out into the field!

I love being in the office, I like people and having my own cube.. I'm also a junkie for meeting new people and solving their problems.

I like the sound of that: syber, your friendly problem-solving junkie. Show me your issues!
