OWB 11g R2 beta and book

Good news! I have been accepted into the OWB11gR2 beta, and I am putting the new features though the testing ringer to see just how well everything will turn out. I will likely not be able to mention or discuss much of it, so please don't ask. If I have been given consent, I will share at the approved time.

I am also in the early stages of bringing a massive amount of experience, projects, data, and writing manuscripts together for an even bigger project. I'll be starting very soon to write the first Oracle Warehouse Builder book ever published. It will be with Oracle Press (McGraw Hill) and will be taking advantage of all the beta experience that will be gained from the OWB11gR2 beta.

In the coming months I will update here on anything that is allowed and not confidential.
