		<description>I&#039;m hoping we have enough money in budget this year so I can attend Collaborate, since it&#039;s here in town.

One thing that&#039;s always bugged me when looking over the sample apps, etc., is how the pages are generally scattered and intermixed. When I create my apps, I try to think everything through first, then I &#039;generally&#039; leave pages 1-200 for typical &#039;basic&#039; screens, like the login/logout, access control, introduction/welcome, etc. My &#039;data&#039; pages I generally don&#039;t start until 300, and I always try to increment succeeding page numbers by at least 2. I also try to &#039;group&#039; my pages in the same set, where the pages in one group (like &#039;General info&#039;) would fall in the range of 300 -330, then the next group would begin at 340 or 350. A minor complaint, but especially when trying to follow somebody else&#039;s logic in app design and implementation, it makes it easier trying to see how the pages &#039;flow&#039;.</description>

		<description>Whether you cover it in detail or not, it would also be good to point to PL/SQL best practices too. I know that there are a number of quick introductions out there, and Mr Feuerstien has written extensively on the topic.

In short, you can do everything right in APEX, but if your back in PL/SQL sucks, so will your ability to troubleshoot, debug, and support the system.

Just my 2 pence!
