looks like nobody is interested in advertising this product. I was looking on the web for “Application Espresso”, but found some good coffee instead! This sounds more like a joke. There is nothing also on the company site. Well – nuNuilder looks really very impressive !
I wonder what are your opinions about Xataface and SynApp2 ?

Well actually, all joke aside. There is an open-source product that is an Application Builder just like Oracle Express which uses MySql instead.

Do a Google of ‘nuBuilder’

It is a lot easier to learn with lots of video tutorials, and if you know PHP you can also write your own code snippets for various events as needed.

The application is also fully supported.

I love to become a Beta Tester, since Oracle XE been playing with APEX, and can’t wait to give it a shot with MySQL.\n\nJust point me to a download in Linux better or Windows and will take it from there. Also like to participate in the Bug Report.

This was of course an April Fools….perhaps too subtle judging by the number of emails I got from people offering to be Beta testers ;)

Thank you very much Mr. Davis Peake for your remark.

Good to hear this officially, although today it is April Fools day and to make the post a little bit more interesting, I added some falvour to it.

As you mentioned as well “…it has no foundation, nor historical precedent. I am not aware of any current or future plans…”

To be honest, I don’t know of any off such rumours (the ones I refered to), but thinking of a good April Fools remark, this was one that poped into my mind.

When I think about it, I am even a APEX eleterate regarding what happens out there in the APEX atmoshere. I know that the APEX community can count of a enormous amont of enthousiast as it should be because I think it is a cool product.

Hoping no harm done,

Sincerely,

All jokes aside, a development concept similar to Apex on a “free” DB would rock. Something with mixed licensing model like Berkley DB would be a perfect candidate for port, if Oracle ever thinks about it. Being a realist, I understand that this is not likely to happen.

I love Oracle DB (and use it a lot in my “day job”), but it does have quite a large admin overhead for a simple non-commercial website…

I love Apex too, this is an incredible tool – thanks a lot guys for doing such a great job!

Marco,

The rumours you have heard regarding the next release of APEX having a license fee have no foundation, nor historical precedent. I am not aware of any current or future plans to charge licensing fees for APEX.

The majority of our development tools are no-cost options or free, many of which run on the Windows platform. Oracle Application Express requires only a Web browser and as such is not installed anywhere other than the database, which can be installed on a very wide variety of operating systems (including Microsoft).

Oracle certainly does understand the potential of APEX as seen by our decision to embed APEX within the seed 11g Database. We plan to incorporate the latest version possible of APEX into 11gR2.

Regards,
David Peake

Wow! That’s some mean feat! I wondered if this would ever happen. And I guess I’m not too surprised at who it was that actually pulled it off. Good luck with the new product.
