Oracle University
Course: D67704GC10
Instructor: Frank Laffey
Virtual Classroom
Some courses you take because you need to. Some courses you take because you want to, and some if you are lucky fall into both categories. This was the third Oracle University course I have taken. And to be honest, the greatest strength was the instructor, Mr. Frank Laffey. He had the best classroom control I have seen for a virtual classroom course in over 20 years in university, 2 years in college and numerous courses between CBT Nuggets, Train Signal and other vendor training. Frank is one of the best presenters I have yet to encounter. And because of that this course was great.

Now I need to be honest here. I am not a developer and have no desire to be. I am a systems administrator. But I like knowing the products I support and being able to support those who do use them. This course was a great intro and helped me understand what finance does, and why, much better. It also gave me a number of ideas to look at for improving our system performance. I have been supporting Oracle Hyperion, OBIEE, ODI, and this course gives me a much greater understanding on how the different pieces integrate together, and the management of data.
This course was a great course and if you every get the chance to sit a class with Frank, do so; you will get even more out of it.
