Oracle has launched iDevelop2001 Online, a new, free 24 x 7 online service offering application developers a Web-based solution for education and training.
Francois Marais, product manager for Oracle Development Tools at Oracle SA, says it is part of Oracle`s ongoing efforts to "jumpstart" Internet application development and is the "next step" in on-line education.
"iDevelop2001 Online offers the convenience of on-line learning with the depth of curriculum required for Oracle`s rigorous certification programmes," says Marais.
"In the Internet era, developers need to keep pace with emerging technology to advance their skills and successfully build next-generation software services.
"One of our goals is to provide on-line services and resources that enable developers to work with the latest available technology and to cultivate highly-valuable skills on Oracle9i products.
"iDevelop2001 Online is Oracle`s most recent effort in assisting the developer community to keep abreast of advancing technology," he says.
"In this regard, developers will have the opportunity to ask questions to Oracle`s development managers and experts during online live `eChats` offered for each course. Developers will also receive a jumpstart to certification as an Oracle Certified Professional."
The iDevelop2001 Online service is available through Oracle Technology Network (OTN), where developers will find the software, resources, training and expertise they need to develop any Internet application.
iDevelop2001 Online offers comprehensive technical courses about the latest Java and XML technologies.
More specifically, these structured training modules cover development and deployment of application services, portals, Internet business process integration, high performance Web sites, and wireless applications using Java, XML, and SQL on Oracle9i.
