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 [...]
A few days ago we held our third open European Application Express training days in Utrecht, The Netherlands. It was my first time in the Netherlands and I loved it, I have to say I thought it was a bit of myth about everyone using bicycles until I saw more bicycles in 20 minutes than [...]
The recent OTN Forums update has been heavily blogged/Twittered/posted about already, so I’m not even going to touch that one. However, one thing that a few people have focused on (pardon the pun) is that the update has changed the way that viewed threads are displayed in a very light grey colour, making them a [...]
I was glancing through the list of fixed bugs in the Apex 3.1.2 release and noticed that one of my long time ‘annoyances’ has been fixed.

I was just browsing through the iTunes Application Store and noticed this application – Hmm, I guess that really makes me a geek huh? I get to look at the iPhone apps and the first one I look for is an Oracle related one. Of course, being an Application Express fan, I’ve been used to [...]
Incase you didn’t spot it yet the APEX 3.1.1 patchset has been released. You can download the patch from Metalink, Joel Kallman has blogged with more details on the patch number (7032837).
My good friend, Doug Gault over at Hotsos is doing a free (free!) webinar on Performance Tuning APEX Applications. You can register for the webinar here, but here’s a snippet from the Hotsos site: Application Express (ApEx) is a highly flexible and highly scalable Rapid Application Development environment for web applications.
