In the beggining...

Made my career working for, and after that working with, Oracle.
Though I'm not a reference in Oracle world, I see some things every day that are passed around as the ultimate coding practice, but, no evidence to support them. Other things are just common sense, if you stop to thin about them...
I will try to publish here my experiences and references on a few things, so maybe they become clearer and useful.

Cheers
