Via Justin (@oracletechnet), there are newly announced Developer Days.
Get Your Workshop Hands On! New Developer Day Cities
What are Developer Days?
Developer Day workshops are free, hands-on workshops that give you the software and skills to tame that learning curve and reach the next level in your technical knowledge. We have a range of entrees on the menu, including Java Development, Database Application Development, Fusion Development (Oracle ADF), and more. Most of these workshops let you walk away with a fully functional, VirtualBox-based software appliance that you can use for continued learning.
Oh, and they are free as in beer.
I didn’t know OTN did these. Great idea.
We do “Virtual Developer Day” (online) workshops too!
Awesome, I somehow missed both of those.
