Details: 

Class Hours: There are 6 hours of live, interactive hands-on class training divided into three 2-hour sessions, plus one hour of lab time with Craig after each session.

Skill Level: This class is for developers, DBAs of any database, and infrastructure professionals. This is NOT an Oracle-centric class. This is an AI-centric class. You will need a basic understanding of any programming language, such as PL/SQL or Python.

Class Structure: OraPub believes you learn more when you freely and actively engage during the training. This is why each session is full of live demonstrations, lots of Q&A time and lots of hands-on action! If you miss a session, you are free to attend that session when the class is offered again. 

Watching Recorded Sessions: Each session is recorded and used to create a unique web page just for your class. The recordings can be streamed using any device, but not downloaded. You can re-watch the videos as many times as you wish. The videos and your unique class web page will be available for three years!

Class Requirements:

You will need:

• An up-to-date modern browser such as Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox or Apple's Safari.

• The ability to connect to the online training over the internet, hosted by Zoom. You do not need a microphone.

• A modern Windows, Mac or Linux computer with at least 10 GB of memory and 5 GB of diskspace.

• Miniconda installed on your computer provides our Python environments. It's free. Google "miniconda install"

• Cursor AI downloaded, installed with a working license. Go to https://cursor.com for details. The least expensive paid license is fine.
