Why would someone with years of ML experience retake a foundational course?
I did just that with Andrew Ng's revamped Machine Learning specialization.

A bit of a side quest from cloud infrastructure.

So you need an MCP tool, now what?
tl/dr: Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a light-weight protocol that attempts to address a specific problem of how to allow 3rd parties (you, me, or anyone) to provide relevant prompts or context to a ...

Here is my third post about Oracle OCI Functions for serverless cloud computing: francois-robert.ghost.io/fun-with-oci...
In this hands-on article, I explore the integration between OCI API Gateway and OCI Functions, ending up with a fully functional proof of concept.

I'll be there presenting a topic about Terraform for the Cloud track. This conference is a great opportunity for developers to get out there and share, learn, and network with peers. I also really appreciate the not-for-profit nature of the event.
CFP IS STILL OPEN for The Commit Your Code Conference!
CYC 25 is going to be 4 tracks!
- JavaScript
- Java
- Cloud
- and adding this track this year .Net!
We MIGHT be adding in a 5th track, a "building leaders" track.
If you are interested in speaking, submit a CFP!

The new Oracle Live SQL is here. This is essentially a SQL Fiddle to learn. This ground up rewrite around SQL Developer web and Oracle REST Data Services.
It comes with an increase in schema life from 8 hours to 90 days! Check it out with the Try V2 link on the home page. livesql.oracle.com
