Duke's Corner

Jim Grisanzio from Oracle Developer Relations talks with Chip Baber from Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) about the Oracle Code Innovate Program. The conversation centers around building the cloud community by working directly with developers — that's side by side, hands on coding collaboration — on real cloud projects for active customers.

The program, which started in 2018 with in-person sprints and moved virtual in 2020, uses a flexible Agile framework that spans a week of interactions, such as planning, training, ideation, coding, standups, demos, etc. What's great about the program is that all sides learn — the customer's developers get more direct experience coding in OCI, the customer's executive management gets needed projects initiated that can be evolved to eventual deployment, and Oracle gets valuable engineering feedback that can help improve OCI. Plus, it's fun. People at all levels who contribute to the project are really passionate about it. Listen in to hear why.

There are many times during this discussion with Monica Godoy where she expresses her passion for the Oracle Application Express (APEX) technology and also the APEX community. "APEX changed my life," she said, talking about how she could finally build the applications she wanted to using this innovative development tool. And it's a life changer for developers in the community as well because many developers around the world aren't shy about expressing their enthusiasm about Oracle APEX.

Monica is a product manager on the APEX team in Colombia, where she's lived her entire life. In this episode she gives an update on the latest bits in APEX 21.1 and she talks about how helpful the community has been around the world.
