If you asked me, I think Mike Hichwa's favourite 19.2 new feature is Faceted Search. Since the early adopter programme was launched on September 13, 2019, Mike has tweeted seven times about the EA (up till Sep 15).

I'm embarrassed. If you googled this title, you'd find many other previous blog posts discussing the utility of Markdown. And in my humble opinion, it can be fully justified depending on the purpose.

In a blink of an eye, it has been more than four years since I set up the ORCLAPEX-YVR Meetup Group. This is a Meetup group in the beautiful city of Vancouver, British Columbia, that serves as a platform for promoting interest and supporting local Oracle Application Express (APEX) professionals and enthusiasts.

For those unaware, as organisers, we pay a biannual organiser's fee. Thanks to ODTUG's, these fees are kindly sponsored by #GetInolved initiative.

Thank you ODTUG!

Recently, I had an epiphany...

Support for remote development is one of the newer features of Microsoft Visual Studio Code (VS Code) announced in 2019 that I'm most excited about. With the Remote Development Extension Pack, developers are able to work with code on remote servers using SSH, Docker containers and Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

With only three days remaining for my 30-day trial, I will finally close these series by discussing my experiences dealing with various levels of support from Oracle. Having used the Oracle Cloud (OCI) both in my day job and as a technology evangelist, I have had the opportunity to engage Oracle support at various levels: sales, customer and technical.
