For most developers and DevOps professionals taking the time to learn how to get started with new technologies and services can be a challenge. Sometimes finding an open block of time to delve in and start playing with new technologies is tough when you are working on a current project. We all know that the pace of change in technology (especially in the cloud space) is so rapid that keeping up your skillset is critical for both developing & managing apps & services today, and also taking advantage of the opportunities that will arise tomorrow.
As part of Oracle OpenWorld and Code One we are inviting developers and DevOps professionals to take advantage of a new Skill development offer that we’ve put together with our partners at Pluralsight that includes 12 months of free access to Oracle Cloud courses. Pluralsight has built a new set of expert-led courses to help get you up to speed with Oracle’s cloud infrastructure and apps. These courses provide you a great foundation for learning how to get started with much of what will be discussed and demonstrated at Oracle OpenWorld and Code One this week. These courses are designed to get you started (hands-on) with these modern technologies in easily consumable chunks, and access is free for 12 months.
Some of the new courses (available now) include:
- Provisioning Virtual Machines on the Oracle Compute Cloud
- Oracle Autonomous Transaction Processing for Developers
- Warehousing Data with Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse Cloud
- Serverless Programming with the Fn Project
You can sign up for this training offer here:go.pluralsight.com/blog
We will be following up with additional courses that will cover deploying apps with the Oracle Cloud Container Engine for Kubernetes and monitoring container operations in the Oracle Cloud Container Engine for Kubernetes, as well as some new courses that will cover how to get started developing with the Oracle Cloud Free Tier.
As you likely have already heard, Oracle announced the Oracle Cloud Free Tier, including the new Always Free services for anyone to try the world’s first self-driving database and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure for an unlimited time. The Always Free Tier includes the infrastructure essentials for developers to build complete applications on Oracle Cloud, including Compute VMs, Block and Object Storage, Load Balancer, and Oracle Autonomous Database.
So try out the new courses from Pluralsight, and start building your next generation applications and services on the Oracle Cloud Free Tier.
In addition, come talk to us about your cool app & services ideas this week in the Groundbreaker Hub at Code One. We would love to hear about what you want to build.
