My Oracle Support Flash Retirement - HTML to be "the one"

The countdown has started! Flash is scheduled for retirement on August 10th,

hence the counter on the main portal site.

So MAKE SURE you have the latest browsers, for example Internet Explorer 6 is no longer supported.

Read the post about supported browsers, if you need.

As you might have read the support.oracle.com  flash site is to be replaced,

all of the main Flash features are now ported. The HTML site is written using Oracle's ADF stack.

Ehab Sayed Resigned from Medstar Misr Company

Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect.

There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions.

So what. Get started now. With each step you take,

you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled,

more and more self-confident and more and more successful.
