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
aren't left out, however. Those who choose to can go deep and leverage
the full power and flexibility of Oracle's 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.
