Application Express, or APEX, is one of the most innovative
products to come out of Oracle in years. APEX is an application
development framework for developing database-backed applications.
It's easy enough to get started in that power users can quit
storing data in random spreadsheets and instead centralize their
data in the powerful Oracle database, all without developer help.
Developers arent left out, however. Those who choose to can go deep
and leverage the full power and flexibility of Oracles database
engine.
Getting started with APEX is easy. Learning how to take full
advantage of APEX is the problem. It was the problem, that is,
until this book came along. In Pro Oracle Application Express,
authors John Scott and Scott Spendolini open the "hood" of APEX and
expose the full power behind its easy-to-use GUI interface. They
show you what you need to know to produce powerful, professionally
polished applications, things such as user-authentication models,
approaches to layout and navigation, how to integrate Ajax, how to
deal with localization issues such as time zones and translations,
how to customize the look and feel of an APEX web site, and much,
much more.
The authors are well-qualified to write on APEX. John Scott runs
ShellPrompt, a hosting service that handles many large-scale APEX
applications, some of which he is paid to develop. John is a hard-
core APEX developer. His coauthor, Scott Spendolini, is one of the
original creators of APEX. Both John and Scott now base their
fulltime careers on developing APEX applications. Pro Oracle APEX
is your opportunity to learn APEX from the very best.
