Are you the smartest?

I finished the last test of Oracle's "Are you the smartest?" contest yesterday, it was about SOA (Service Oriented Architecture), and it was hard...
For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about: AYTS is an annual contest organised by Oracle. It consists of attending four sessions of Sales Consultants presenting business solutions. This year's sessions were about BI Suite, JDeveloper & ADF, SOA Suite and Identity Management. I liked the BI and JDev sessions, the others were a case of "slow death by powerpoint" for me.

I liked the ease, transparancy and intuitive interface of the BI Suite. JDeveloper and ADF I had already worked with, and I'll admit it's an amazing and wide-ranging tool (for free!), but when it comes to building User Interfaces, my bets are on APEX. As for winning prizes (first price is a trip to Oracle Headquarters in SF, USA), I don't think I'll be among the lucky ones...

But you are the smartest nevertheless! :)
(And I wasn't allowed to come with you anyway, so nah!)
