Last month I was over at the Oracle offices in Reading; redeveloping the Avitek Sample Portal working to achieve a design that would be more appealing to future  clients and help show the potential of what could be done with WebCenter.

We all know that Oracle always provide powerful functionality over aesthetics and a  good interface design.
Those sales guys must have a pretty hard job selling Webcenter over Sharepoint - I mean if you weren’t technically minded and Microsoft first came in and did a demo of sharepoint and then Oracle came in and demo`d Webcenter - I know who I`d choose purely on looks.

Unfortunately, I don’t have any screens of the Avitek development, but here are a few of a reskin of spaces which I used as a bases for the Avitek development.

So whats next for me and Webcenter.. Well, I have been fortunate to be given a copy of  Webcenter 11g Handbook - so its been used for weekend and bed time reading; there’s alot of good guides in it. A full review on this will be coming soon, but it’s definitely got to be a book on your shelf.  During February, I’ve been taken on to assist migration of a Sharepoint project to Webcenter - this is going to be my first client project with Webcenter - its going to be good and cant wait to see the challenges that lie ahead of me.. Keep an eye out and I`ll let you know how it goes.
