I've been toying for years with getting into Oracle development but couldn't be arsed. Done some DBA stuff but it still doesn't pay the same as playing the banjo.

Hi Andy,
There are loads of courses you can do mate - have a browse round Oracles website. You can get yourself certified as a developer from their courses, but to be honest they mean nothing. They just teach you the tools (which anyone with half a technical brain can pick up). The Oracle schema is what you need experience in, and you cant get that unless you can get an Oracle Apps gig, or you get yourself an install of Oracle Apps from somewhere and teach yourself it.

I came accross a website that sells laptops all fully fitted with Apps and all the development tools (very reasonably priced too) not so long ago, but I've lost the URL now. Might be worth having a hunt around for it so you can learn on your own instead of doing the courses?

Actually I'll see if I can find it for you...

My first ever technical interview after uni was for a database developer position:

Interviewer : Have you ever used Oracle before?
Me : No
I: Have you heard of Oracle?
M: No
I: Proceeds to tell me everything I should have known about Oracle to get the job.

I didn't get the job

My second ever technical interview after uni was also for a database developer at a different company

Interviewer : Have you ever used Oracle before?
Me : No
I: Have you heard of Oracle?
M: Yes... then proceed to tell the interviewer everything i was told in the first interview.

I got the job
