PL/SQL Challenge version 1.7
PL/SQL Challenge was upgraded to 1.7.
The main feature for everybody is to be able to access to all past quizzes by topic, difficulty or date, and then drill down to see a new, more detailed description of the quiz.
You need to register so have access to that, but registration is free.
Go there, learn and, if possible, play!

PL/SQL going down in TIOBE Index
PL/SQL in 23th in TIOBE Index for October 2010.
A drop of 10 places in one year!
Of course that index is not very accurate, but even so I would not expect a drop like this one, specially with PL/SQL Challenge that was created this year (ok...it's not a very index (meaning Google, etc.) friendly site), and the APEX grow.
I think that one reason for that is that with APEX the PL/SQL community use APEX as a label/post and not mention PL/SQL when writing/posting code for it.

Less that one week
Less than a week for the 1st Oracle PL/SQL Programming Conference (OPP) in Europe (in Brussels)!
