SQL Performance Tuning for Developers: My ever-popular class 2-days on-site/public or 4 half-day web sessions aimed squarely at developers.  The focus on this class is problem SQL.  I concentrates on how Oracle assembles explain plans and how to control the explain plan thru hints and coding style.  The material goes into great detail on how indexes work and how Oracle selects them and skips them.  I cover the important tools needed to capture and tune problem SQL.  

Advanced PL/SQL Programming Tips and Techniques: Another popular class that runs all week in a half-day format over the web or 3 days in an on-site/public setting.  This class could easily be called 'New Features for Developers'.  I cover the new compiler features, trigger features, cursor management, and collection features.  This course covers many of the performance issues associated with both SQL and PL/SQL.  I share my years of tuning experience using PL/SQL to solve some of the more difficult issues I have faced.
