Well, there have been a few changes around here. As of Monday, May 3, 2010, I am no longer a staff MySQL trainer. The transition to Oracle did not go well, in that Oracle chose to impose new rules too quickly to a system that had previously worked extremely well. As a result of removing training links from the MySQL web site and placing them in an obscure location on the Oracle University site (and only there), people looking for MySQL training could not easily find it. Coupled with a reluctance among Oracle salespeople to even sell MySQL classes, MySQL classes were suddenly not being filled as they had before. Oracle University management noticed the lack of revenue in the brief two month period since the assimilation began and decided that there must not be a market for MySQL training after all - so cuts need to be made. As the top paid MySQL trainer (and the only one not within commuting distance of an Oracle University center, so my travel had to be covered each time I taught), I was the most obvious RIF target. So the schedule shown here is no longer valid beginning with May 2010. However, this does not mean that I have left the ranks of those who teach MySQL - I must simply regroup and find a different avenue. Several opportunities have presented themselves and I will update this part of the site as my plans become better formed. In the meantime, if you are in need of MySQL or Omnis Studio training - either on-site or over the internet (using WebEx or other technologies) - the calendar is wide open! Send an email to dataguru@polymath-bus-sys.com and we'll discuss setting something up. By the way, any class I give on MySQL from now on will be using my own materials, which I believe you will find to be even better than the excellent materials that MySQL Curriculum Development staff used to provide. Yes, Oracle is having a negative impact on those as well! It will just take a little time to get the new materials organized. |
