Hi, SIG! ("Hi, Catherine!")
I'm basically an Oracle DBA who uses Python on the side, and I'm tired
of seeing blank stares at Oracle meetings when I mention my Python
passion. So I wrote up an article designed to smooth the entry to
Python for Oracle people, addressing the things I think are likely to
confuse an Oracle-based newbie. Or the things that confused me, at
least.
The article is at http://www.ioug.org/python.pdf
If only I could have read it on my way into Python, it would have made
things quite a bit easier for me, time-travel paradoxes
notwithstanding.
Anyway, I had hoped to publish it in the IOUG's quarterly magazine,
but they opted simply to web-publish it at their site. I'm afraid,
for evangelism purposes, it's pretty obscure right now. Pushing the
evangelism metaphor a little further, my lamp is not at all on a
lampstand.
I'm bringing it up here for two reasons.
1) If you personally want to help Oracle people to a friendly
introduction, please gratify my ego and point them to it.
2) Ideas on where to go with it next. IOUG told me I still have
rights to try to publish or post it elsewhere, but I don't really know
where. Thoughts?
Thanks!
- Catherine
