    Hi everyone,

    I would like to get into oracle development-I'm currently do java programming. Any ideas of how to get into this ?

    I studied computer science in college & also a qualified accountant.

    I'm thinking of sending my cv to Oracle companies, but not sure where to get a list of such companies.

    Any advice, tips would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    First, when it comes to development 'with' Oracle, you're not confined to just Java. C# and .NET is also good to have. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/visual-studio/overview/index.html

    I can't say I've ever heard of Oracle specific Companies. Maybe Oracle partners who work with or use Oracle Technologies. Have a look at Oracle to see what they provide and what learning resources they have available to you.

    I think that's my point - there's developing with Oracle and Oracle development (e.g. Forms, Apex, PL/SQL, etc.).

    Lots of companies are Oracle shops. Look for the older, more established companies. Also lots of Oracle in Public Sector organisations.

    By Oracle development I mean Oracle Financials.

    So any advice on how to get into Oracle Financials or where would I get a list of companies which use Oracle Financials in Dublin, so I can apply to them directly? Thanks

    Have you searched LinkedIn? Try searching for Oracle Financials or Oracle Developers to get an idea who's using it.

    I'm not suggesting it's a bad market to get into but the demand for Oracle Financials has dropped over the last year http://www.itjobswatch.co.uk/jobs/uk/oracle%20financials.do

    I often wonder, when I see a request like this, who would actually compile such a list? Would a company that buys a piece of software add their names to some list? Would the vendor, Oracle in this case, compile a list and publish it? Extremely unlikely, I would assume.

    There would be data protection and/or confidentiality issues here most likely by publishing their customer base.
    It wouldn't be a prudent business move either i.e. handing say SAP or Microsoft a list of customers who may in the future move to a different platform.
