This podcast provides educators and students in-depth discussions with thought leaders around computer science, cloud technologies, and software design to help students on their journey to becoming industry ready technology leaders of the future. Let's get started. 00;00;28;21 - 00;00;57;26 Speaker 2 Welcome to Oracle Academy Textured, where we discuss how Oracle Academy prepares this next generation's workforce. I'm your host. Sajeel Shahzad In this episode, I'm joined by Lorilyn Owens, director, innovation Programs and Member Services. We speak about the new Oracle Academy community platform, what it is, and how Oracle Academy members, faculty and ambassadors can use it. 00;00;57;28 - 00;01;00;13 Speaker 2 Welcome, Lorilyn. 00;01;00;16 - 00;01;02;05 Speaker 3 It's nice to see you. 00;01;02;07 - 00;01;15;00 Speaker 2 It's fantastic to have you here as we kick off this exciting chapter of Oracle Academy. Can you give me a bit about your background and your role at Oracle? 00;01;15;02 - 00;01;45;23 Speaker 3 Sure. Thank you for having me, Sajeel. So in my role as director of Oracle Academy Innovation Programs and Member Services, I oversee many of the programs and services that help our faculty members innovate in their teaching and get the most out of their membership. Our team is responsible for curating Oracle Academy program benefits, promoting member success, deepening member engagement, and supporting members throughout their membership lifecycle. 00;01;45;25 - 00;02;18;10 Speaker 3 One of the favorite things that we get to do is to share our member success stories. I'm passionate about empowering educators and students to thrive in this ever evolving tech landscape. I love seeing how innovative teaching and collaboration can truly transform learning experiences and help students gain real world skills. Gosh, I spent over the last 25 years working at the intersection of technology and education. 00;02;18;12 - 00;02;54;08 Speaker 3 Whether that's developing and rolling out new learning initiatives or supporting faculty communities globally. But before joining Oracle Academy, I worked in human resources. I've worked in Oracle Consulting and also in Oracle support. All of that taught me the value of collaboration, connection, community building and helping the next generation of learners be ready. One of my treasured memories is from a few years ago, when we published a video celebrating the 25th anniversary of Oracle Academy. 00;02;54;10 - 00;03;31;09 Speaker 3 We've been around for almost 30 years now, but when we celebrated the 25th, I just loved seeing faculty members from different countries share their Oracle Academy stories in their own words. That was special. It really brought home the global impact we could have when we work together. I am just constantly inspired by the dedication and creativity I see in our Oracle Academy members, and I'm always eager to learn from their experiences and support their work in any way that I can. 00;03;31;11 - 00;03;41;25 Speaker 2 Starting to start? What is the Oracle Academy community and what makes it distinct from other forms of communications? 00;03;41;27 - 00;04;13;04 Speaker 3 The Oracle Academy community is really special because it's not just another online forum or email list. It's a dedicated space where Oracle Academy faculty and ambassadors can connect, collaborate, and share ideas. It's tailored specifically for those who teach with Oracle Technologies. So the conversations are relevant and everyone understands the unique challenges and opportunities our educators face in the classroom. 00;04;13;07 - 00;04;42;27 Speaker 3 So, unlike more general platforms, everything here is focused on helping educators grow and support each other with resources and advice they can use. It's a curated, secure environment where participants can discuss best practices, get support, and collaborate on projects with peers who share a passion for helping to advance student technology, education and skills. 00;04;43;00 - 00;04;56;09 Speaker 2 Interesting up. Could you describe the unique value of bringing together Oracle Academy Ambassadors and Oracle Academy faculty members in a dedicated online community? 00;04;56;12 - 00;05;31;03 Speaker 3 Sure. Bringing ambassadors and faculty together in one place is incredibly valuable. Faculty members who are out there teaching every day and tap directly into the expertise of ambassadors who are well versed in Oracle technologies. It creates this dynamic exchange. Ambassadors, along with the Oracle Academy team, can share the latest resources and opportunities and faculty can voice what they need or share what's working in their classroom. 00;05;31;06 - 00;05;50;16 Speaker 3 This kind of back and forth isn't something you get with traditional emails or newsletters, or just one way communications. It really accelerates learning and innovation for everyone involved and empowers us to enhance student outcomes. 00;05;50;18 - 00;05;57;09 Speaker 2 Tell us, how do community members engage and support each other? 00;05;57;11 - 00;06;30;22 Speaker 3 Community members engage and support each other in several meaningful ways. For starters, there's always an open dialog happening. People ask questions about everything from teaching best practices to specific Oracle technologies, and others are quick to jump in with answers, tips, or resources. Members can also share lesson plans, project ideas, and real life classroom experiences, which can be incredibly helpful if you're looking for inspiration or solutions to a challenge. 00;06;30;24 - 00;07;04;22 Speaker 3 There are regular opportunities to participate in group discussions, so it's easy to stay up to date and hear different perspectives from around the world. And when someone achieves something like completing a new certification or launching an innovative student project, the community is right there to celebrate and share the successes. So overall, it's just a very supportive environment where everyone is genuinely interested in helping each other grow and succeed. 00;07;04;25 - 00;07;14;19 Speaker 2 Interesting. How is the Oracle Academy community structured, and what are some of the key features for community members? 00;07;14;21 - 00;07;50;14 Speaker 3 In addition to just the dynamic features of the platform itself, like tagging, gamification, reputation rich content support and the mobile friendly design. We've also added knowledge base and FAQ use. We have categories in the Oracle Academy community to help organize discussions and resources into focused topics. That makes it easy for members to find relevant information, connect with peers, and participate in conversations that really just match their interests. 00;07;50;16 - 00;08;22;21 Speaker 3 Our topic based categories include AI, cloud, apex, and Next week, and also industries like construction, Nearing and Hospitality. We also have an events calendar where you can find information about upcoming webinars, workshops, conferences and community activities. You can explore this page to stay informed about important dates, register for events and connect with fellow members through shared learning and networking opportunities. 00;08;22;24 - 00;08;53;22 Speaker 3 We also have the Oracle Academy Community Learning Blog, and that's where members can share thought leadership ideas, classroom experiences, and real world applications of Oracle technologies for content. I'm really excited because we have Share Your Success Mondays where we will feature our member success stories. We have Test Your Students Wednesdays, where we'll provide short quizzes to share with students covering different technologies. 00;08;53;24 - 00;09;17;02 Speaker 3 And then I think maybe my favorite feedback Fridays. And that's when we'll ask for your feedback on the Oracle Academy program and popular trends. And it really does just enhance the opportunity for two way dialog. We have a lot going on in the community school, so we really want people to come back often and just set up your profile to receive updates. 00;09;17;03 - 00;09;30;15 Speaker 3 We're excited because the community is a place where Oracle Academy members and ambassadors can come together and collaborate and share knowledge. 00;09;30;18 - 00;09;44;21 Speaker 2 I'm curious that how can active participation in the Oracle Academy online community and harness professional growth and amplify the impact on the broader Oracle Academy community. 00;09;44;24 - 00;10;17;16 Speaker 3 While still getting involved in the community is a fantastic way to boost your own professional development? You can contribute to blogs, take part in discussions, and connect with other educators from around the world. It's a network that fosters personal growth and keeps you up to date on new trend

This podcast provides educators and students in-depth discussions with thought leaders around computer science, cloud technologies, and software design to help students on their journey to becoming industry ready technology leaders of the future. Let's get started. 00;00;28;22 - 00;00;46;13 Welcome back to Oracle Academy Tech Chat, where we discuss how Oracle Academy is helping prepare the next generation's workforce. This episode is part two of Transforming Database Operations MCP server and OCI generative AI in action. 00;00;46;16 - 00;01;02;05 So here is the code which we have built it. And I'll start my server. Okay. So first thing is like we can just do list all the databases. 00;01;02;07 - 00;01;28;22 So you can see like how many databases we have. So here are all the databases which we help you see. Database 123. Okay. And we can see what are the prompts. So let's say the first prompt I am using. Connect me to the database and list user tables. Okay. So I'll just go ahead. 00;01;28;25 - 00;01;42;24 Connect me to the I will connect to the first database and list all the user tables. 00;01;42;26 - 00;02;03;17 And meanwhile it does it operation. I'll also show like how you can build your own resources. So you see here I am using this open AI. If I wanted to use I can use this okay. Okay. So these are the things and these are the databases connections which I have used. So basically consist of the resources grants and the tools. 00;02;03;18 - 00;02;26;27 So this is some thing you can think like a resource. This will just turn to you okay. These are the resources which I am using it. And then I was also talking like a you can build your own provider. So I have been like OCI provider. This is my OCI provider. Similarly I have built open a provider. Here is my opening a provider. 00;02;26;29 - 00;02;50;28 And when you build your own provider you can also build like as I said MCP server consists of the prompt state prompt also tool and resources resources. I already shown these are the prompts. If you see here you are an expert Oracle DB which has this access for database operation. Perform these operations. So these are the prompt which you have to provide okay. 00;02;51;00 - 00;03;11;18 And there are certain means. There are the tools which we have already discussed. I will show us in the code. And that tool you can invoke. So yeah. So here you can see I have like within the prompt only I have added these tools stuff. Use this for SQL query to use this for this connection for list like that. 00;03;11;21 - 00;03;35;21 So if you see here I give the prompt connect me to the PUC database and list all the users tables. What it basically does it it basically with the first option it does it it basically connects me to the database automatically. Then it runs this again. It gets the response. It sees that response, and then it runs the query. 00;03;35;24 - 00;04;06;05 And you can see for the user table. So first it does the connection. Second it does the user query to get the response. So if you can see there are two operations which it performs after getting the response it performs another one operation. So total two task has been performed. Successful two okay. So yeah. So here you can see now I will just go to the next prompt list user table. 00;04;06;05 - 00;04;32;24 We already shown you. Now I just run this one list user table list transition event skills in separate tables. So if anyone has to build their own MCP server by using our good, I'll be sharing this code. This is available in the GitHub repository. So you can build your own orchestrator so that you can use this code as a reference code. 00;04;32;27 - 00;04;56;24 And in this code, if you see there is an MCP server code. So basically Oracle already came up with a tool which is a plugin which you can install SQL okay, you can install and you don't have to do. But what we have done is like we have mirrored that tool by building our own MCP server. Like we build a real database connection, we build the real tool, expose it, and trying to use it. 00;04;56;26 - 00;05;25;09 So it's just to make sure that everybody understand the actual real world behind this. Okay. So here you can see I gave the prompt, list user tree with rich transaction events using separate tools. Okay. Three tasks has been executed. If you see it user table. These are the user table it tries to get. Then there was some error. 00;05;25;09 - 00;06;07;10 It got other this one queue name is invalid identifier. Then it tries to invoke again okay. And but the system indicate that no errors. So maybe I haven't given the permissions to list available connections or something. But transaction events stuff. Right. So that permission is not there. That's why you didn't able to query the database. So those days just now so is needed whenever you are building the MCP server so that you may not get what I can just say is like, you may not, give him the admin privilege and he can change the policy or do some nasty stuff. 00;06;07;13 - 00;06;37;25 Now, I'll, move to the next prompt. So this one prompt called saw me all the tables. Before that, I'll just use this, provide me the top three weight operations. So let's see how many weight operations which are running inside our database. So it automatically generate the query and tries to find the weight operations. So if you see here here's this is this this was our okay. 00;06;37;25 - 00;07;00;09 So I'll just first go there. So the if you see here this was the things which is try to like using probably does then it converted converts it into the SQL query okay. These are the SQL query. It gets converted. And this was the response which it tries to fetch it. So top three weight event. We asked. 00;07;00;12 - 00;07;24;05 So it gives you the events. Weight class total weights time weighted average wait time. So library cache okay. So basically total three weight operations try to providers ten rows has been selected. You can see here. So yeah. So if you give anything it basically tries to invoke the tool call converts your natural language into the SQL language and gets the response back to you. 00;07;24;07 - 00;07;48;24 And if you wanted to perform some agent approach, you can build your agent approach. As I said, we have already done this right in front of everyone, right? We connect to the database, we get the response, then we are listing the user tables. Okay. There is something called, report. I will show that also before so this is done and then so me all the tables inside the database. 00;07;48;26 - 00;08;09;25 So there are lot of tables. It may take some time so it will take some time. Meanwhile, I'll just say like so if you see here two will already available. But these are the tools. The Oracle has built it just to show everyone that how you can build your own tool. 00;08;09;27 - 00;08;30;16 So this is also the tool this the other tools which we have. I'll make it available as a part of this MCP. So you can see here. So these are the tools we are calling these tools. And then there is a real tool called we are doing it. And basically it does the real database connection okay. It does everything on a real basis. 00;08;30;16 - 00;08;51;11 Not like a plugin does it. you can install and start working on. So basically the idea here is like you can take this code and build your own NCP stuff by taking this as a reference to me. So actually there are a lot of tables we get this query, it may take some time, so I'll just move to the fifth and the sixth prompt. 00;08;51;13 - 00;09;24;08 Close this, start the server again. So I will generate so basically in the database we have report. So all the DB basically goes and then try to analyze this report. And it takes a lot of time. Right. And the first thing is like there is a query with which you can generate a report okay. And then you provide this like what all the weight operation you does all the performance recommendation analysis using that report. 00;09;24;10 - 00;09;57;27 So we'll see how we can generate using this. So I'll connect to my first database and generate report of last one. So meanwhile you can just see here, you have a config and in the config you can this is just like all these sources where you can have your stuff. And from I have already shown so there is a resource ID, there's a prompt and there a too

This podcast provides educators and students in-depth discussions with thought leaders around computer science, cloud technologies, and software design to help students on their journey to becoming industry ready technology leaders of the future. Let's get started. Hello everyone! My name is Danny Tomic and I will be your host for today's webcast. Revolutionized learning with AI driven database tools. 00;00;38;16 - 00;01;14;23 I'm pleased to welcome our featured speaker, Pankaj Tewari, a seasoned software development professional with over 12 years of experience and a master of science in AI and Machine Learning from Liverpool John Moores University.

This session will be recorded and distributed at the end of the presentation. For those that were not able to attend here live. Thank you all for joining us today. 00;01;47;25 - 00;01;55;10 Let's get started. Without further ado, I turn you over to Pankaj Tiwari. 00;01;55;12 - 00;02;23;25 Hi, my name is Pankaj and I'm part of Rakel Cloud Action Development team. I'm here to talk about, like, The topic is transformation of database operations using Amqp seven OCI identity in action. So. And I will not delay further I'll just move ahead with the next slide before starting directly to the like, going directly to the topic, I just wanted to know, like, I mean, maybe there are people who may not be, knowing about, like, what is MCB? 00;02;23;27 - 00;02;43;24 So I'll just give a small brief. Like, what is MCP? So MCP is nothing, as anybody might be aware. It is like a model context protocol. So model is something like the NLM, Gemini Cloud. Whatever the model you wanted to use the context, the context which we provide to the model and the protocol, whether it's Http, IO or Http. 00;02;44;00 - 00;03;10;17 So these are the things to which the combination is MCP. So what it basically does it it basically offers a documented standardized way for a computer program to integrate from external sources. What I can just say is like, you might be building some, cloud services, you might be building some of the stuff in the real time applications, and there are customers who are going to use your services, right, that you can see. 00;03;10;17 - 00;03;36;14 Right? They are customers. And you wanted to like those people wanted to use your services, how they can use it so they can use it as well as some public API. Why some tools? So that is where I'm coming here as a part of like external source through which you can integrate it. It also supports as integrate. So it integrated like when you see a normal you put a normal prompt, you get a response that's any a stuff. 00;03;36;14 - 00;03;58;24 Right. But once you get the response and over the top of the response, you for if you perform a certain actions right, that comes as an as integrate. So yeah. So I wanted to give an a real time example. So whenever let's say you are going with your friends family for a dinner. Now you wanted to book some restaurant, right? 00;03;58;27 - 00;04;18;25 So what you basically do is like you will try to search the restaurant phone number online, okay, over the web, and then you try to connect to all them, right. And then you will ask it make a reservation for this table. And how many members are coming there. So there is an external source which you need it so that you can connect. 00;04;18;26 - 00;04;42;28 So MCP is a way which it provides a tool or what I consider a V through which are outside that all the external sources can communicate with you. So that was the example of restaurant phone number. And last but not the least is like MCP, was developed by a company called anthropic okay. And later it had become open source. 00;04;43;01 - 00;05;08;16 It was in like, 2024. MCP has repeatedly like, becoming an industry standard, which is basically, making more widespread use of AI agents. So I'll move to the next slide. Yeah. So how does MCP messaging work? State assist works. So firstly like the request. So you will have MCP client which are some information from MCP server. 00;05;08;19 - 00;05;37;28 Then MCP server provides a desired response rate with the proper information that is called as a results list. Let's say there are some request to the MCP client you are sending to the MCP server, and it may not be give you a reply that may you can cause it a call an error okay. And then at the end for the notification kind of thing, let's say you got a notification from the server side that suddenly it's going to restart within five minutes. 00;05;38;01 - 00;05;57;26 So that is what you can see that a notification right. It will be like one way message. No response is needed. Only one message. So like you are announcing or some cloud service or some public service inside you, you are building some clouds, then you are doing an announcement. So that is like a broadcasted to everyone, but there is no response needed for that. 00;05;57;28 - 00;06;27;26 So, so yeah, that's the part of MCP messages work. So I'll move to the next slide. It's called what is MCP server. So we talk you what is MCP model context protocol. Now what do you mean. So MCP server is a program which is basically hosted on a cloud. Right. It exposes the capability of AI agents. So using MCP server you can communicate to any of the like establish say Oracle database. 00;06;28;00 - 00;06;51;19 We have come up with our own MCP stuff, MCP tools. So we wanted to communicate Oracle database. We can communicate using MCP server. You can build your own AI application and you want it to communicate to some other application. Right. Let's say I want you to communicate to Oracle Database or I want to communicate Microsoft GitHub pilot or I want to communicate some other services like cloud or a client, some services. 00;06;51;19 - 00;07;14;12 So there are certain tools which may be available. So MCP server is like a kind of program which basically does provide these tools through which you can communicate to other services. For example, an email service like agent can send emails on the behalf of human use it. That means there is an agent which uses MCP so it can send an email. 00;07;14;12 - 00;07;40;01 Right. Similarly. So yeah. So in the industry there are a lot of questions, which are coming on a daily basis, like what other MCP security we should use it or not use it. So yeah. So MCP basically does not use any authentication authorization mechanism which is natively built in. So the company who is going to build who is going to provide this MCP server, they have to implement for themselves. 00;07;40;03 - 00;08;06;19 It doesn't require any use of Http. Instead of that it basically runs over the Http. Many implementation. So it basically, if you are using a step it may lack encryption authentication. Right. These things may lack. So what what you basically can do is like you can build your own your own certificate data, things through which they should be, like attack which can not be, which can be avoided actually. 00;08;06;22 - 00;08;37;19 So if you are not using TR less than attack can be done. So you can build your own network like have your own mechanism security mechanism through which like, whenever you are going to build your own MCP. So through which, like, atta

So where I landed up was not what I had anticipated or even seemed to be in an at times, situations that presented themselves to me seemed to be overwhelming and I stayed focused and persevered. 00;04;17;10 - 00;04;43;09 You know, when you think about where I started, I actually started working at a bank fresh out of school. And and that's where that's where my career started. Being in a state in that industry for at least about 18, 19 years and then found myself going into, into technology, starting off in a very focused, technology platform, solutions for contact centers and customer experiences. 00;04;43;11 - 00;05;10;15 And then 2 or 3 years later, just kind of moving into a space that covered all of technology solutions. When I joined IBM and, and, and the rest of history, you know, I'd never seen myself moving into a space, you know, we I'd be advising customers on how to leverage their technology architectures and platforms to drive business outcomes. 00;05;10;18 - 00;05;25;25 So so a very interesting turn of events in my life where I thought I, I studied psychology and ended up being in IT consulting for financial services. Very interesting turn of events. 00;05;25;27 - 00;05;47;07 Well, that's interesting to know. From psychology to I.T. consulting. Thank you for sharing your background with us, Jessica. Now, what are some of the most exciting roles for tech professionals in the financial services industry today? And how have these roles evolved over time? 00;05;47;09 - 00;06;15;12 Yeah, I tell you, we're at the cusp of change at every turn, and the industry is putting pressure, or customers are putting pressure on the industry to rise up to the challenge in terms of what the triggers are from a customer perspective, a regulatory perspective. So some of the most exciting roles for technical professionals in financial services, I would I would look at where the trends are now and then and see with confidence. 00;06;15;17 - 00;07;05;18 Data scientists, cybersecurity analyst, cloud engineers AI, machine learning specialists I mean, these roles are at the forefront of transformation and actually will play an active role in how financial institutions operate, how they operate. They offer new innovations in personalized banking, how they respond to fraud detection capabilities, and automated digital experience capabilities for customers across the value chain. And over time, we've also seen these positions have evolved significantly from traditional IT support roles that are focused on maintaining infrastructure to strategic and innovative, driven roles that directly impact business outcomes. 00;07;05;21 - 00;07;46;06 And with the rise of fintech, blockchain and digital assets, tech professionals are now driving competitive advantage. They are reshaping customer experiences and they are ensuring regulatory compliance through advanced technologies with a changing AI capabilities. Blazing the trend in the space. So lots of exciting things happening in the technology space. And you know, I'm sure everyone will agree with me that this evolution reflects the industry's shift towards digital first strategies in an increasing reliance on real time data automation and resilient infrastructures. 00;07;46;08 - 00;08;10;16 So I mean, that's what I've seen. And as we move into, the adoption of, of AI capabilities and creating very flexible and scalable, resilient technology infrastructures, those are the rules that are going to be playing a huge role in ensuring that we step change this industry to where it needs to be. From a banking perspective. 00;08;10;18 - 00;08;29;22 Thank you for sharing. Shashi Cloud, it's very interesting to hear the evolution of tech roles in financial services industry. Now, what key technical and soft skills you believe are essential for students aspiring to enter the financial technology sector? 00;08;29;24 - 00;09;01;12 In all of my career in leadership roles, even when I was in the financial services sector and managing operations and customer experience environments, the most critical, critical skill that I would, I would say everybody should have is a positive attitude. Attitude surpasses everything. If you have a positive attitude and you look at everything from a positive mindset, everything falls into place and everything you touch turns into gold. 00;09;01;14 - 00;09;38;11 So off the cuff that that is a it's a non-negotiable for me. But also, you know, to talk to, to other areas, the students that are aspiring to enter the financial services technology fintech sector, they need a strong blend of technical and fast skills to succeed in this fast paced, innovation driven industry. On the technical side, you need proficiency in programing languages like Python, Java, SQL, a solid understanding of data analytics, familiarity with blockchain, cybersecurity, and cloud computing. 00;09;38;13 - 00;10;07;11 I think those are essentials from a technology standpoint, because they also tend to have in driving customer transformation strategies, cloud adoption strategies, data transformation strategies, and then of course, AI capabilities that sit on top of that knowledge of financial systems and algorithms, particularly in areas like digital payments, risk modeling and algorithmic trading, is also

Bringing the Cloud to You: Security and Control with Exadata

In this episode, we'll talk about Security and Control with Exadata We'll explore how organizations can benefit from cloud innovation while keeping full control over their data — a critical challenge in today's digital world. ---------------------------------------------------- Episode Transcript: 00:00:00:00 - 00:00:44:19 Unknown Welcome to the Oracle Academy Tech Chat. This podcast provides educators and students in-depth discussions with thought leaders around computer science, cloud technologies, and software design to help students on their journey to becoming industry ready technology leaders of the future. Let's get started. Welcome to Oracle Academy Tech Chat, where we discuss how Oracle Academy prepares next generation workforce. I'm your host, Alba Joven, and today I am joined by Sylvia Adrdilo an Exadata Cloud customer Service Specialist at Oracle. 00:00:44:21 - 00:01:11:21 Unknown In this episode we will talk about bringing the cloud to you. Security and control with Exadata. We will explore how organizations can benefit from cloud innovation while keeping full control over the data. A critical challenge is to date digital work. So let's get started. To start off, Sylvia, I would love you to share a bit about your background and your current role at Oracle. 00:01:11:22 - 00:01:47:10 Unknown Absolutely. And first of all, thank you so much for having me here. It's, it's absolutely a pleasure. So my journey started with my graduated as a telecommunications engineer from the University of Malaga in Spain in 2014, and after I finish my studies, I jumped straight into the IT world. And it's been over ten years now. So early on I worked on several companies like IBM and U next and Indra, and during those years I mainly worked as a backend developer in several technologies. 00:01:47:12 - 00:02:16:08 Unknown And I have to say that it was a great foundation because you really get to understand how systems talk to each other behind the scenes, which later became super valuable. And after that, I moved into a more operational role. I was a support lead for UCS as Smart Metering Implementation Program, or MIP in Accenture, and as me was at the time, and still is actually a massive national project to modernize how energy usage is tracked across the country. 00:02:16:10 - 00:02:45:03 Unknown And in that role, I supported everything from from manufacturing the smart meters to getting them delivered to warehouses, activating their SIM cards, installing them in homes, and even managing the returns under the activation processes. It was it was a lot about ensuring that that such a massive operation run smoothly, run securely. I was solving incidents quickly, but but also you had to make sure that they were solved correctly. 00:02:45:05 - 00:03:08:21 Unknown So that millions of people were affected. And that really taught me how critical operation, security and resilience are when you're dealing with important data, national infrastructure. And then in in 2021, I joined Oracle as a cloud systems solution engineer. And in that role I started working much closer with customers. I was involved in the pre-sales side of the deals. 00:03:08:23 - 00:03:36:19 Unknown I was doing technical presentations, workshops. I was learning about all kinds of different Oracle technologies. Oracle's hardware portfolio, and also about data center setups and and the needs from different industries. And then last year, in 2024, I moved to my current role as an Excel Data Cloud customer specialist. And in this role I continue supporting our sales team from from a technical standpoint, during the pre-sales process. 00:03:36:22 - 00:04:06:21 Unknown But now I'm more focused or solely focused on Exadata Cloud customer. So basically I help customers and I help internal teams understand what Exadata Cloud Customer is, how it fits into their IT strategy, and especially how it can meet their security and operational needs. So I deliver workshops, I answer technical questions, I join customer meetings, create documentation, and also help train our internal teams so that everyone stays sharp on the technology. 00:04:06:23 - 00:04:32:18 Unknown So to summarize, my my whole career has been about understanding technology deeply and then helping people use it safely and effectively. So now let's talk about a crucial topic that is data security. Can you explain what data security is and why it's so important in today's world? Think of data security like the lock and the alarm system of your home. 00:04:32:20 - 00:05:10:17 Unknown So you keep your doors locked. Maybe you have cameras, sensors, alarms, whatever. All because what's inside your house is valuable and personal. Now, in the digital world, your data, whether it's research papers, personal information or medical records, business transactions and so on is just as valuable, if not more. So data security is the set of practices and technologies that we use to protect that digital home from unauthorized access from theft, corruption or misuse. 00:05:10:19 - 00:05:43:05 Unknown Now, why is it important? Well, because we live in a world where data is currency. So companies, governments and even criminals, they know the power of having information, right? So if someone steals your research, they could profit off your hard work. If they get access to personal data, they can commit identity theft or fraud. If they access login details from a company, they can sell them to malicious actors who impersonate you to steal your information, and so on. 00:05:43:07 - 00:06:12:08 Unknown So on a larger scale, data breaches can cause massive reputational damage to companies. People lose trust in institutions that that can't protect their information. So we have discussed why that is important. But what would you say that are the biggest challenges organizations face trying to protect their data? In that context, what are the best practices you would recommend to follow? 00:06:12:10 - 00:06:42:20 Unknown This is where it gets really interesting, actually and honestly, it's a little bit daunting. So the first challenge is the speed of change. Technology evolves super fast. And unfortunately hackers do also. and another challenge is complexity. So organizations today have data spread across servers, across personal devices, a cloud services, applications or whatever. And every one of those extra connection points is a potential risk, right? 00:06:42:22 - 00:07:14:13 Unknown But actually, one of the biggest risks isn't actually the technology, but the human error. So what does it mean? Well, clicking a bad link, using weak passwords, not updating software, sending confidential information or messaging apps not authorized by the organization. A small mistake like this can have really huge consequences. And even the most advanced security systems cannot really protect against someone accidentally opening the wrong email attachment. 00:07:14:15 - 00:07:39:02 Unknown As for best practices, I think I will summarize. I will summarize them in five areas. So the first one will be to encrypt everything. Encryption is like writing data in a made up language. So even if someone intercepts it, they can't understand. They can understand what's written in it. Nor do anything with it. The second will be the least privilege. 00:07:39:04 - 00:08:05:19 Unknown So only give people access to what they truly need. It's like giving someone a key to just one room instead of the whole building. The third one will be batching and updating systems. So software updates are how we fix security issues or bugs before bad actors can exploit them, right before they can use them in their favor to access their systems. 00:08:05:20 - 00:08:34:07 Unknown Fourth one would be continuous monitoring. So basically do not assume that everything is fine. Use tools to keep an eye on activity. To spot suspicious behavior early and to alert the right people. And fifth. Well, it's, security awareness training, right? This tries to address what I mentioned before on the human error factor. So teach everyone, teach your employees, students, your family members the basics. 00:08:34:09 - 00:09:02:02 Unknown Because awareness is often the first down the best line of of defense. Let's dive a little bit into xCloud consumer. For those who might not be familiar. Can you explain what it is and how it helps address the data security challenge that you just have discussed? Yes, absolutely. And I love this question for obvious reasons. So Exadata Cloud Customer is is a smart solution to a big modern problem. 00:09:02:04 - 00:09:30:15 Unknown Okay. So first of all think of what organizations want today. They want the power and the flexibility of the cloud. That means being able to scale resources up and down. They want to use the latest technology. Automate a lot of tasks, but they also want to keep that control and security. This applies in places like universities, like hospitals, financial public institutions where the sensitive information is everywhere. 00:09:30:17 - 00:09:59:05 Unknown And normally, public cloud services mean that your data lives in a shared data center somewhere out there. But what happens if you can't risk that? Or what happens if regulations dictate that you must keep data in your own facility? That's where Exadata Cloud Customer provides an answer. So first of all, Exadata is Oracle's best database system. And it is a solution on its own. 00:09:59:07 - 00:10:27:23 Unknown It's a rack with database servers. The storage sells and switches for interconnection. But what makes it unique is that it provides ultra high performance. It provides optimized hardware and software and unique features that accelerate the Oracle database and the cloud. A customer or part of the name? It means that it is installed inside your data center, but it's managed like a cloud service. 00:

Tips and tricks for better usage of Oracle Academy teaching resources – guideline from practical experience, with special focus on solutions for frequent challenges

In this podcast, Dusa Vukovic, Principal of the Grammar School for Computer Science, Oracle Academy Teacher and Oracle Academy Instructor speaks from her experience using Oracle Academy materials in the classroom, as well as an instructor for Oracle Academy. She speaks about practical things teachers will discover while using Oracle Academy curriculum in their classrooms. ------------------------------------------ Episode Transcript: 00:00:00:00 - 00:00:37:04 Unknown Welcome to the Oracle Academy Tech Chat. This podcast provides educators and students in-depth discussions with thought leaders around computer science, cloud technologies, and software design to help students on their journey to becoming industry ready technology leaders of the future. Let's get started. Welcome to Oracle Academy Tech Chat, where we discuss how Oracle Academy helps prepare the next generation's workforce. 00:00:37:06 - 00:01:10:06 Unknown I'm your host, Ljiljana Krkić. Oracle Academy program manager. In this episode, I'm delighted to be joined by Dawsonville College principal of the Grammar School for Computer Science. Oracle Academy teacher and Oracle Academy instructor. She will speak about her experience using Oracle Academy materials in her classroom with her students, as well as an instructor for Oracle Academy. She will speak about practical things teachers will discover while using Oracle Academy curriculum in their classrooms. 00:01:10:08 - 00:01:37:02 Unknown Hi, Dusa. Welcome. Could you please tell us a little bit about your background and your current role? Hello. And also coach, I'm the principal of the grammar school for computer science. It's a school with a especially demanding curriculum designed for students talented in computer science. I have more than 20 years of experience in teaching programing in database topics. 00:01:37:04 - 00:02:06:17 Unknown I'm also author of the several textbook, on computer science since 2010. I have been an instructor for teacher courses within the Oracle Academy program, leading training sessions in Serbia, Montenegro, Turkey, Austria and the Czech Republic. This is really impressive. And could you please describe in more details your early experience with Oracle Academy, and what led you to become an Oracle Academy member as a teacher? 00:02:06:17 - 00:02:36:23 Unknown I'm aware that, especially in the past, but even today, education often provides a lot of theoretical knowledge without giving students a clear sense of how it's applied in the real world. When I first heard about the Oracle Academy program, I immediately thought, this must be different. Oracle is known for its excellent software solutions. So I assumed that their courses would be packed with real world examples and content that could be applied immediately. 00:02:37:01 - 00:03:04:22 Unknown Online courses and training are now a standard part of daily life. Back in 2007, when I took my first Oracle Academy course, very few people had ever experienced online training. Many couldn't imagine what it's like. The online portion of the training back then was nothing like we have today. It involved live chat sessions with only occasional image, and the internet connection was dial up. 00:03:05:00 - 00:03:30:01 Unknown I still remember the sound of the modern screechy as it connected to the landline. It's so funny to think now about the landline. Most people don't even use today. For me, it was an incredibly experience that back in 2007, I was able to follow from my home and online course with instructor Pat Hays was teaching from her office in the United States. 00:03:30:03 - 00:03:56:11 Unknown It really showed me how Oracle was not just keeping up with technological advancements, but actively applying them. That experience inspired me to be a part of that kind of innovation. I wanted to offer my students the opportunity to stay on the cutting edge of technology, learning skills that could be immediately applied in real world scenarios. Yeah, these were really very specific times. 00:03:56:17 - 00:04:23:22 Unknown And tell us, what were some of the key challenges you experienced and how did you overcome them? This is an excellent question. One of the biggest challenges when working with students is capturing their interest and keeping their attention. Many people myself included, agree that this issue is even more pronounced today, largely because kids are surrounded by technology and endless distractions on the internet. 00:04:24:00 - 00:04:52:21 Unknown However, the question of attention and engagement is an essential part of the teaching and learning process. When students are engaged, then focus. The results are always better. They don't just learn a single lesson. It's not about that. It's about developing a desire to keep learning and discovering new things throughout their lives. The Oracle Academy materials play a significant role in sparking students interest and keeping them engaged. 00:04:52:22 - 00:05:23:11 Unknown Students quickly realize that these aren't just abstract concepts, but practical skills that can help them secure good jobs. The lessons give them an opportunity to acquire valuable knowledge and skills that are highly relevant to the real world. In my classes when I teach, I organize activities in a way that maximizes student involvement. I don't just stand in front of students delivering delivering lectures. 00:05:23:13 - 00:05:54:01 Unknown Let me give you some examples. When we are starting a new lesson, I give the students a list of questions that they need to answer by exploring the new materials they read, the lessons they go through, the content and search for answers. In that case, the reading is far from boring. The reading is engaging and interactive. All students are given the same amount of time and the same set of questions, and they are required to write down their answers. 00:05:54:03 - 00:06:22:06 Unknown Later, we compare the results as a group with the goal of helping each student see where they stand and what they can improve. For example, if one student answers 27 questions, another only 15, we analyze what happened. What challenges they face. What could have they done differently? It encourages peer learning as they teach each other through their mistakes and success. 00:06:22:08 - 00:06:57:08 Unknown I also use Oracle Academy Solve it with SQL workshop to encourage students to explore new tools. I provide them with lessons and instructions and they work through the materials practically using a new IT tool, something they haven't used before. At the end, we assess the results together, discussing what went well and what could be improved. This hands on approach not only builds technical skills, but also develop critical thinking and problem problem solving abilities. 00:06:57:13 - 00:07:25:14 Unknown Thank you. And I agree. Focus is a challenge for all of us nowadays. And thank you for all of the advices regarding the groups and organization. And now this leads me to, another question. Tell me, how do you start your school year with new students? How do you introduce Oracle Academy to them? Oh, well, at the beginning of the school year I create Oracle Academy accounts for all students. 00:07:25:16 - 00:07:54:22 Unknown So that gives them access to complete learning materials throughout the year. We go through the curriculum gradually, and I always make sure to point out which lesson we've reached or which specific task we're working on. In that way, they can track their progress for hands on work. Their plenty of examples and exercises within the course itself. I make sure to go through those tasks in class. 00:07:55:00 - 00:08:28:11 Unknown Sometimes we work together. For example, I'm at teacher's computer demonstrating things we have to do, and all students follow on their own computers at other times. I assign tasks for them to complete independently while I circulate around the classroom. Occasionally we practice quiz questions during class, which helps them prepare for the certification exam. When we go over quiz questions, we always discuss them. 00:08:28:13 - 00:08:56:22 Unknown If I notice from their answers that they haven't fully grasped something, we revisit the lesson afterwards. Do I make more example to make things clearer for my students? Wonderful. And now from your teacher's, perspective, you have been Oracle Academy instructor for teacher courses for many years. Could you please tell us more about that experience? Well, this is very important for me. 00:08:57:00 - 00:09:33:07 Unknown The experience I have as an Oracle Academy instructor for teachers working with teachers is especially valuable. Each teacher brings their own experience from the classroom. Those experiences are always visible during training sessions. The process of knowledge exchange in teacher training is never one sided. While I train teachers on how to use Oracle Academy materials in their lessons, I also absorb knowledge from them about their teaching methods and how they work with their students. 00:09:33:09 - 00:10:02:03 Unknown When you're a teacher, your focus isn't just on the subject matter. The main focus is on how to help students acquire knowledge and skills. The way a teacher learns sometimes might not be the same way a student needs to learn. We don't all alone in the same way. Some people prefer to read a lot. They best learn by carefully going through the lesson, only moving to the task. 00:10:02:06 - 00:10:38:16 Unknown After reviewing everything thoroughly. Others skip the long texts. They don't like to read. They go straight to the tasks and they then return to the lesson text only when they need help solving a problem. Some students enjoy learning through competition. Others dread it. These are just a few examples in direct work with students in the classroom. The process of teaching and learning reveal

The Transformative Power of Low Code Development

In this Episode Orlaith Lawton speaks with Oracle ACE Roberto Capancioni about the importance of APEX and why it is the world's most popular low-code application platform. ------------------------------------------------------ Episode Transcript: 00:00:00:00 - 00:00:35:14 Unknown Welcome to the Oracle Academy Tech Chat. This podcast provides educators and students in-depth discussions with thought leaders around computer science, cloud technologies, and software design to help students on their journey to becoming industry ready technology leaders of the future. Let's get started. Hello and welcome to Oracle Academy Texas, where we discuss how Oracle Academy prepares the next generation's workforce. 00:00:35:15 - 00:01:03:22 Unknown I'm your host Orlaith Lawton. In this episode, we dive into the transformative power of the low code software development and explore how it's reshaping industries, streamlining workflows, and enabling faster innovation. Our guest today is Oracle Ace Roberto Journey, and he shares his expertise on Oracle Apex, the world's most popular low code application platform. You're very welcome, Roberto. 00:01:04:02 - 00:01:34:01 Unknown Lovely to talk to you. And thank you so much for being our guest today on our podcast. Start off, Roberto, can you please give me a little bit about your background and your current job role? Thank you all for inviting me. If I'm open for me to be here with you and to share my knowledge in Oracle Apex and the Oracle technology in general, because I'm very, enthusiast of these environments. 00:01:34:01 - 00:02:37:17 Unknown And I try to explain why. My name is Roberto. I'm, I'm an engineer, and, I've been working in, in I.T for about 30 years. I started, focusing in databases or relational databases and, application development that many years ago for multi utility companies, also in, service sectors company. At the moment I work with mainly exclusively in apex project because they're a when I found the apex about 15 years ago, I thought that it was the, the only take for developing application in, in my career and the, in the the following of this podcast, I try to explain, explain why I also collaborators, 00:02:37:19 - 00:03:14:13 Unknown as a trainer and the also a consultant with companies and also education institution. So, I'm, I'd like to explain to student mainly to student and school because I think that at the moment the there is the need of this kind of, example of code of, the middle word technology, because, Oracle technology is suitable for company and also for educational institutions. 00:03:14:15 - 00:03:48:01 Unknown Thank you, Roberto, for that. And what is apex and what are the benefits of using Apex? Okay. In the apex is the, so-called low code development platform. Why low code look on? Because it the code at the moment is, mainly. And the hype word because the when you say low code, do you want to say that everybody can develop, quick and dirty applications. 00:03:48:03 - 00:04:30:01 Unknown And if you want, the apex can also do that. You can, develop in about an hour a very simple application. But the, the secret is that is also low code application. So it's suitable for business user, for student, for junior developers and also for enterprise applications or grades of housing because the technology that is below apex, that is the Oracle database is an enterprise platform. 00:04:30:01 - 00:05:16:07 Unknown So every company can leverage of database and the, the, low code, the environment, the to develop to develop application. So the secret is that, if you know, languages, if, you know, business problem, apex can without writing, single frontend code, the frontend means all the code that you have to write to create the web application that that usually it's not simple for also, for all the, old style, developers, apex do it for you. 00:05:16:07 - 00:05:51:11 Unknown So you can have to write frontend code. Also business code that you know that also or developers can do in they career and they don't know, web application because they are doing another job with apex. You can develop it quickly. Business application. So why is this the world's most popular low code application platform? I think for, for several reasons. 00:05:51:11 - 00:06:24:12 Unknown First of all, apex is included inside the, he tried the the Oracle database license, if you haven't to pay for apex because, apex is the database. Oracle is an extension of the database Oracle. So if you have a database, you data but you have to pay nothing to have Apex. You have a really apex in your environment. 00:06:24:12 - 00:07:23:01 Unknown You have even the two, provide the, application server or other, tech inside your component. Because if you have Oracle database, you have a really also apex. So, it's, it's very simple to start, but also, if you haven't developed with it and the it is, a mature technology because, even if, only this year we hear about, apex because when, Oracle became, cloud company about two, five years ago mainly, you know, also before, but, it's, the last five years that that there was an explosion in the cloud of Oracle apex became strategic because is inside the the cloud technology 00:07:23:01 - 00:08:02:03 Unknown of of Oracle. Sure. Oracle has auto language database. Autonomous database is a platform as a service that Oracle asks for. For the companies, you with a simple, subscription you and access, instantaneously to the database in the cloud. And also, apex also updated the maintain need that fine tuning the from Oracle you UI to be, online subscription and all is, provided for you. 00:08:02:03 - 00:08:37:13 Unknown So it's very easy to have an environment that is secure, is maintaining with the GDPR, at the moment. But, watchdog every DPO has to concern about the, the security, the, the explosion, exploitation and the all the problems that you have to maintain updated your environment with the autonomous database, the Oracle do it for you and apex is it inside the autonomous database. 00:08:37:15 - 00:09:20:18 Unknown So with a minimal effort, you have a mature, enterprise ready. GDPR really needs to read the environment. And, inside the your organization. So, I think that the company appreciate that because determinative there are several out there native. But only tools, only development tools. So Oracle is a complete the stack from the infrastructure from the Sabara database middleware, application server from them. 00:09:20:18 - 00:09:49:15 Unknown But, it it is the only product in the world, that can do that at the moment. That's a very detailed account of this. Thank you so much for that. Roberto, may I ask you can apex help with generators, AI or AI? Apex makes it easy to integrate AI model and external services inside the, inside is environment. 00:09:49:17 - 00:10:26:11 Unknown Mainly because, apex is the DB oracle. So as you know, the last, version of the, Oracle database is a 23 I why I mainly because you use that and marketing subject all today. All all products are AI but Oracle provide the SAP environment agent in the EAS autonomous cloud that can integrate with apex. 00:10:26:13 - 00:11:02:15 Unknown Apex has the, enterprise ready Add-On to, integrate with, a Lem agent that so you can do in ad declarative way without to, hassle, experience program because there are several weeds. And the several. Yeah. It really application inside the, the the gallery and the, demo product that, installed in provided in the apex environment. 00:11:02:17 - 00:11:48:17 Unknown So, always the AI is, increasing every way. The model, the MCP server, today we can have also tool that the provide the ASR, in interface to interact with the, agent that in, in the industry from which are GP3, cloud, IEEE, all the, the agent that we ever in at the moment and apic is the, enterprise ready to do that for the novice and the for the experience developer? 00:11:48:19 - 00:12:49:08 Unknown How do you see apex being used in the future? I believe that the apex will, becoming increasingly strategic for the organization. And the speed to, to see many extension also because of AI, IoT analytics. Don't forget that Oracle as wide ecosystem side that is cloud. The from the diffusion application that the software as a service application that Oracle provide to the companies and the analytics application we have in Oracle analytic servers in the apex again, can be the, the Swiss knife that the can integrate with the tailor made this process, all the orchestration, all the workflow that we can have between all 00:12:49:08 - 00:13:23:09 Unknown the Oracle ecosystem product but not also Oracle because the in the mean the Odeon world or the, enterprise application as a software as a service application and the, the rice there is that there are the, the standard interfaces to, interact with, the other products. Is convenience also focused on development, of integration. 00:13:23:09 - 00:13:57:19 Unknown So apex can do, invite development environment for software application, software as a service application, but also also integration application. And at the moment this is the most important things for the companies because all the companies, has ERP, cloud Europe very valued and the expensive environment and that are migrating in cloud. 00:13:57:21 - 00:14:42:22 Unknown So we are losing the but ability to connect directly with the database, because at the moment that they have on premise, product, when they, on cloud is more difficult to interact directly with the database. So they have an API, they have Rest services. They and, need other, tools to interact with the application to get, to fetch all their data for business intelligence, application front orchestration, AI application and data analysis. 00:14:43:00 - 00:15:21:09 Unknown Oracle apex can help a lot. And this is one of the my main, a job at the mome
