My company had purchased the 10g New Features TBTs (on CD) before I started.
Since I had worked a little with 10g at my last job, I thought I'd go
through them to shore up any gaps in my self-taught education on the new
features of 10g.
Long story short, I ended up contacting Oracle because the content had major
flaws. There were vague references and at least one lesson had a "fact"
that was outright wrong. If I hadn't known that fact already, I would have
probably accepted the falsehood.
And the CDs were Win-only. That was for 10g, so the courseware is 6+ years
old. Perhaps they've improved since then, but I'm not willing to try again.
GL!
Rich
