Gotta love jetlag

Jetlag really is a wonderful thing, on the one hand it makes you want to go to bed at times that would make a 5 year-old throw a tantrum, but on the other hand you get to wake up wide-awake regularly as clockwork at 4am in the morning (Groundhog day anyone?). Whilst this might seem [...]

OOW07 – 1 Day to Go

Registration for OOW began today (saturday) and if you are already in San Francisco then it’s a good idea to register before the crowds build up on sunday and monday. As you can see, it’s not that busy yet (although the Moscone building is so big it can hold a lot of people and you [...]

OOW Apex Meetup

I posted a while ago that Dimitri and I would be trying to arrange an Apex Meetup at OpenWorld. We created a simple Apex App for people to register which night was their preferred night and it was a close tie between Monday and Tuesday, so we flipped a coin and thought that monday was [...]

OOW07 – 2 Days to Go

Once again, it’s time for Oracle Openworld, myself and around 40,000+ other people are descending on San Francisco for what promises to be (and certainly didn’t dissapoint last year) a very fun, enjoyable and rewarding 4 days of Oracle conferencing, socialising and networking. My journey started pretty early, having to catch a flight from Manchester [...]

Apex Evangelists Becomes an Oracle Partner

Well the title has pretty much given it away, but Apex Evangelists, the company I formed along with Dimitri Gielis has just become an Oracle Partner. I’m incredibly proud that in a relatively short space of time we’ve managed to make Apex Evangelists well known in the Application Express development, consulting and training field. We [...]

OOW 2007 APEX Meetup

It’s that time of the year again, with OpenWorld just around the corner, so Dimitri Gielis and myself are trying to arrange an APEX Meetup again like we did last year. If you’re interested in coming along to the Meetup, we made a simple application (APEX of course) where you can say which days are [...]

APEX Podcast

Scott Spendolini, together with Jeff Erickson from Oracle Magazine has just released a Podcast discussing the benefits of Application Express 3.0. It’s a very interesting quick intro to anyone who isn’t familiar with APEX, or anyone who has heard about it but isn’t quite sure how it would fit into their workflow. I’ll resist adding [...]

Apex Evangelists go head-to-head!

In my previous post, I listed the Application Express sessions that are going on at Oracle OpenWorld this year. However, what I didn’t point out that there is a bit of a conflict on the final day: [TABLE=5] That’s right, both Dimitri Gielis and myself are both presenting at exactly the same time! Dimitri is [...]

APEX Sessions at OpenWorld

Today I thought I would finally get round to going through the Oracle OpenWorld 2007 schedule builder and plan which sessions I’m going to try and attend. I noticed that there are quite a few Application Express related sessions this year – [TABLE=1] [TABLE=2] [TABLE=3] [TABLE=4] [TABLE=5] If I’ve missed any out, please let me [...]

Application Express Training – London 2008

Following the success of our recent European Application Express training days in Brussels, we have set the date and location for our next APEX Evangelists European Training Days Event. The event will be a 3-day advanced Application Express course (agenda coming soon) and like our previous event will rely heavily on lots of live demos [...]
