Are You JSON-Curious? Find Out More at COUG’s Next Meeting!

I’ll be presenting at the upcoming July 2015 meeting of the Chicago Oracle Users Group (COUG). We’ll be meeting on July 23rd from 6PM – 8PM at a brand-new venue – the Seasons 52 restaurant in Schaumburg, IL. As usual, space is limited, so be sure to register soon to guarantee a seat.

My esteemed colleague Biju Thomas will be kicking off our meeting with a discussion of Oracle Database features entitled The Rest of the Database 12c Features for an 11g DBA. Then I’ll be presenting Just SQL Often Needed: Leveraging JSON Features in Oracle Database 12.1.0.2. This brand-new topic is a first foray into some of the unique ways to leverage data stored as JavaScript Object Notation – an increasingly popular data interchange format used by NoSQL databases as well as all sorts of devices that participate in the Internet of Things (IoT) – within Oracle 12cR1.

I’ll also be bringing some copies of my new Oracle Press book for our usual post-presentation raffle. Since I’ll be sticking around for some after-meeting comraderie, I’ll be happy to sign your prize. So don’t miss this meeting! I hope to see you there.
