> Performance Diagnosis 101 (formerly the "Hotsos Clinic") - This is a
> 3-day course dedicated to teaching a method for diagnosing performance
> problems on production (and integration-testing) systems. It's an
> instructor-led course with about 70% lecture and 30% exercises and
> discussion. More information, including FAQs, at
> www.hotsos.com/education/PD101.php.
>
> SQL Optimization 101 - This is a 5-day course, presently in beta
> development, dedicated to teaching developers and DBAs how to optimize
> inefficient SQL statements in both stock and custom applications. More
> information at www.hotsos.com/education/OP101.php.
>
> Hotsos Symposium 2004 - This is a 3-day conference that showcases lots
> of speakers from all over the world. Presentations range from basic to
> advanced, but everything at the event focuses on issues of Oracle system
> performance. More information at www.hotsos.com/appearances/sym2004.php.
> See www.hotsos.com/appearances/sym2004-papers.php for the draft of the
> presentation abstract list.
>
> Steve Adams seminar - We've invited Steve to present a one-day follow-up
> seminar after our Symposium. His subject matter will be very focused and
> very deep. I saw 3 days of his material last year in Denmark, and it was
> phenomenal. Steve comes rarely to the USA, so we're fortunate to have
> convinced him to present in conjunction with our event in Dallas. More
> information at www.hotsos.com/appearances/adams2004.03.php.
