I just noticed that the front matter (i.e. table of contents, forewords, acknowledgments, introduction, …) and chapter 1 of TOP are available as PDF on Apress’s website. The URLs are the following:
With this information you should be able to decide whether TOP is the book for you.
The company I work for, Trivadis , has organized a series of seminars with Tanel Poder . The topic is Advanced Oracle Troubleshooting for DBAs and Performance Engineers . If you want to improve your skills in troubleshooting performance problems and are interested in Oracle internals, this is an opportunity that you should not miss. For sure, I will not miss it!
The seminars will be held at the following locations and dates:
- Vienna, November 3-4, 2008
- Düsseldorf, November 6-7, 2008
- Munich, November 10-11, 2008
- Zurich, November 13-14, 2008
More information is available in the flyer.
At last my book, Troubleshooting Oracle Performance (TOP), is available! The proof is that today I have received my first printed copies.
What a special moment!
You will find more information about the book, links to online bookstores and more at http://top.antognini.ch.
The publishing date had been postponed several times. For that, I would like to apologize to all the people that had pre-ordered it loooooong time ago. Anyway, now it is available for anyone who wants it.
Hope you enjoy it!
