Become a CDE2 Ambassador: Receive free training in the new CDE2 Tools !!!!!
By now you've heard about our PowerSwitch program, where we give away a free Oracle CDE2 Tools SDK CD. If not, detailed information is enclosed below. Because this is a promotional giveaway and support will be limited, a private bulletin board has been set up where users can ask technical questions. A group of specially trained CDE2 Ambassadors will help monitor, and answer the questions on the bulletin board. We are currently recruiting the last CDE2 Ambassadors to receive free training in January. This is a unique opportunity for our customers and particularly our independent consultants, as this will undoubtedly provide very valuable business contacts. The training will give you a chance to prepare for the upcoming production release of our Tools early next year.
If you would like to receive this free training and are willing to help your colleagues by partially monitoring the bulletin board, please send an e-mail to Lisa Namphy at lnamphy_at_us.oracle.com. Please respond right away as time is running out and space is limited.
The training will be held at Oracle headquarters in Redwood Shores, CA, from January 3 - 6, 1995. It will be given by the people who know the products best: the product managers in the CDE2 development teams. This is a chance for Oracle customers and partners to meet the people who write the code for Oracle Forms 4.5, Oracle Reports 2.5, Oracle Graphics 2.5, Oracle Procedure Builder 2.5, and Oracle Browser 2.0 and learn everything there is to know. The class requires good knowledge of Oracle7, Oracle Forms 4.0, and either Oracle Reports 2.0 or Oracle Graphics 2.0.
In case you haven't heard about our PowerSwitch program, here's the deal:
The new Cooperative Development Environment (CDE2) release extends the power and capabilities of client/server development to unprecedented levels, and as of November 8, 1994, CDE2 Tools and Data Access products have entered Software Developer's Kit (SDK) status on the Microsoft Windows platform. But that's not all the good news.
We are making our exciting new technology available in the form of a free evaluation copy of the Oracle CDE2 Tools SDK under a promotional event called PowerSwitch. With this release, developers can pilot-test applications for deployment immediately upon production shipment of the products. The SDK program is the final stage prior to general availability of Oracle's products. This means there are still bugs here and there, but we feel confident that you will find the quality sufficient to get started. The Oracle CDE2 Tools SDK includes Oracle Forms 4.5, Oracle Reports 2.5, Oracle Graphics 2.5, and Oracle Procedure Builder 1.5. All you have to do to receive your free copy is to call our automated fax response # (703) 777-2216 for the Non Disclosure, and order form. Then fax back the forms to receive your free CD. If you fax it right away you will receive your CD before Christmas. How's that for a deal?
