Optimizing Oracle SQL Is Intensive in Hotsos HQ

We thought it might be fun to host one of our classes in the office for a change. Our first opportunity was the Optimizing Oracle SQL, Intensive class, which started on May 11th, 2009.

You might be able to tell how "intense" this class is by the expressions on the students faces below:



Monty said that the students didn't want to leave after his first day of teaching. He wasn't sure if they needed some extra time to absorb all of the material, or if they were scared to run the gauntlet through the Hotsos staff.

After all, they'd have to walk by Sales and Accounting to get out. Does this adorable face look like she'd bite?



Or these?



Heck, no! Well...at least not hard, any way. We're a friendly crew.

BTW, Monty is in fine form today so the students better beware!



We'll see what happens at the end of Day 2! Will the students stay after class or bolt?

Whatever they do, we love having the students inhouse. It's fun having new faces and stories around the water cooler.
