It was fun and I learned a lot from it.<br />Thanks for all the effort you put into this, and I can't wait for the weekly quizzes to start.<br />Congratulations on your new job. The weekly quizzes must be of even higher quality since they are now written by an Oracle employee ;-)<br /><br />JeroenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677649049588007585.post-32174950436598350592014-03-28T18:54:43.023+00:002014-03-28T18:54:43.023+00:00I think that now we have much more hope to very ra...I think that now we have much more hope to very rare tests based on errors thrown by the compiler or at run-time.<br />Being given the fact that the quizzes are much rare it opens the way to put problems for which the system would give us, humans, no hints (via raising errors).<br />Less quantity should come with much more quality.Cristi Bobochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01738906346278667026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677649049588007585.post-19198018835896446642014-03-27T09:45:35.412+00:002014-03-27T09:45:35.412+00:00Thanks Steve for your altruistic efforts on buildi...Thanks Steve for your altruistic efforts on building this community.<br /><br />As a father of a one year five months boy I understand the importance of family and I appreciate your implication into this project.<br /><br />Lets the new phase start!<br /><br />I'm sure it will be successfully.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677649049588007585.post-68714191822124676142014-03-21T08:46:44.846+00:002014-03-21T08:46:44.846+00:00Thanks a million for the daily PL/SQL quiz, it was...Thanks a million for the daily PL/SQL quiz, it was always a great day starter !<br />I will enjoy the new quizzes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8677649049588007585.post-3750584792581103502014-03-20T16:32:13.988+00:002014-03-20T16:32:13.988+00:00I very much appreciate having the PL/SQL Quiz.
