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 [...]
I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve heard people say “The site must be designed to work in 800×600 resolution”. Now there are a few cases where this definitely is a real requirement, however often it’s more of a case that people don’t want to potentially exclude people from their site (and if [...]
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 [...]
Just a quick note to say that the APEX Listener has been released as an Early Adopters download. If you’re not familiar with it, this is a Java alternative to the OHS or Embedded PL/SQL gateway. However that is vastly understating some of the potential this has. I was lucky enough to be given an [...]
Following the very successful (over-subscribed!) first ever UK Application Express SIG meeting last year, it seems like a good idea to do another one. The sessions include: Integrating Apex with Oracle Apps – Putting the Sweet back into e-Business (Pete Mahon – Virgin Mobile) New Features of Apex 4.0 (Anthony Rayner – Oracle) Oracle Forms [...]
I haven’t blogged for a while and it’s mainly due to the fact that I just haven’t had time (yeah yeah…I know that’s a weak excuse). However there have also been quite a few changes going on at APEX Evangelists, firstly a while back we moved into some nice new offices. (I did try and [...]
The folks at ODTUG have just published the APEX 4.0 Presentation video presented at ODTUG 2009 by Mike Hichwa and other members of the Oracle team. I was there at the time and all I can say it you have to see it to see some of the very cool features that will be coming [...]
After our highly successful Utrecht and London Application Express Training Days (not to mention our original Brussels Training), Apex Evangelists have just opened registration for our 4th Application Express 3-Day training course. So, what are these training days? Well, we host a lot of on-site training for clients, however we also hold ‘open training’ days, [...]
Firstly forgive the ‘indulgent’ nature of this post, the friend I’m referring to was our cat LC (Lucy Cat, or more correctly Lucy Scott Cat). Non-pet owners might be surprised at (or quite not comprehend) the amount of love you can give and receive from a pet. Or as my sister said, they’re not just [...]
Well it’s been a long time in the making, but the Pro Oracle Application Express book that I wrote (with a chapter on Themes and Templates contributed by Scott Spendolini) is finally shipping! I started working on the book way back and it seems barely a week has gone by since when I haven’t been [...]
