With UKOUG Tech and EBS conference in Birmingham a couple of weeks away, I thought I’d see if anyone is interested in an APEX Meetup during the conference. Usually at most conferences I attend Dimitri Gielis and myself try to arrange a very informal gathering of APEX-minded people in a pub. It’s a great time [...]
Yesterday, at the UKOUG APEX SIG (which I’ll post a follow-up about shortly), I did a quick 1 hour presentation on Increasing Scalability with Oracle Application Express, I touched on (and demonstrated) quite a few different techniques in which you can make you APEX applications more scalable (and/or just as importantly, reducing the overhead of [...]
Just a quick note to mention that on Wednesday I’ll be at the (2nd!) APEX SIG meeting at the Oracle City Office in London, it looks like it’s going to be a packed day (already sold out sorry!) full of APEX sessions. I’m very happy that something ‘official’ is now being held in the UK [...]
On friday (12th February), the first UK Application Express Special Interest Group meeting was held. I previously blogged about the planned content, theme etc here. I’m very pleased to say that the event exceeded many peoples expectations in terms of attendance, with around 55 or so people (and I believe around 20 people on the [...]
The “need” for a UKOUG Application Express SIG (Special Interest Group) has been discussed a lot, Jonathan Lewis blogged about it a year ago and received a lot of interest. Sara Blair also floated (or resurfaced at least) the idea again last year, again receiving a lot of positive feedback. I have also been very [...]
We’re here already, final day of UKOUG! It’s gone really quick, all that preparation and then it’s over until next year. It was quite a ‘lazy’ start to the day, checking out of the hotel and loading up the car with bags, then heading over to Peter Lorenzen’s session on “How to make your APEX [...]
Today was the big ‘APEX day’, with 3 APEX presentations and the APEX roundtable. I met Dimitri at the Hotel as he’d just flown in and had been unable to make the start of the conference. We headed over to the ICC for the first APEX session of the day – Programming Real Applications with [...]
It’s a nice short walk from the hotel to the conference centre, but it’s also a nice scenic one walking along the canal. Today I started off with “Oracle SQL Developer Latest Features” by Sue Harper, SQL Developer is a fantastic (and free!) tool that is becoming more and more tightly integrated with Application Express [...]
About 2 hours before I set off to drive down to the UKOUG (thankfully no trans-atlantic Jetlag inducing journey for an Oracle conference this time!) I realised I’d ‘lost’ my IPaq which I use for GPS. Knowing that my chances of driving down to Birmingham and finding the hotel (Jurys Inn, where all the ‘tech [...]
Following my last post about presenting at UKOUG, I checked out some of the other APEX related sessions at UKOUG and it looks like there are going to be some very interesting APEX sessions to try and catch. [TABLE=6] Obviously I already know Dimitri, but it will be a good opportunity to meet some of [...]
