OGh APEX Conference

Last week I was presenting at OGh (ORACLE GEBRUIKERSCLUB HOLLAND) APEX World. My topic was "APEX 4.2 Application Deployment and Application Management". I can only recommend this conference to all the APEX users in Europe. This is definitely the biggest APEX conference on our continent. If you don't travel to ODTUG then this is something you shouldn't miss. They have an international track where you can listen to the well known APEX developers and book authors. This time Dan McGhan, Martin Giffy D'Souza, Joel Kallman, Dietmar Aust, Roel Hartman, Peter Raganitsch. For the tracks in Dutch, they are also willing to switch their language to English at any time if there are visitors not understanding Dutch. All together, Dutch people are open minded and I admire their sense for organizing such events - they definitely know how to do it.

APEX 5.0 Page Designer Videos

There is a nice series of videos regarding APEX 5.0 Page Designer on YouTube. You can watch it here. David Peake is showing how the new Page Designer works. It is worth of having look at it and much easier that finding it out yourself. Enjoy.

APEX Plugin Page

I just noticed that http://www.apex-plugin.com is programmed using php and jomla. Shouldn't it use Oracle APEX?

APEX IR Query Plugin

I already posted about the function for getting the IR query here:

Now, I decided to create a dynamic action plugin based on that function. The plugin has been submitted to the plugin directory at http://www.apex-plugin.com/ and should appear there soon. If you want to see how it works and download the code, you can do it here as well: https://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=43045:1

Oracle APEX Cookbook : Second Edition

I was asked to review this book and write a couple of words about it. Of course I didn't go through all the 444 pages of the book because I don't have enough time. From what I could read and review, I can say that this book contains a lot of well explained examples for almost all APEX features. So, if you are new to APEX and want to speed up your learning process then this is a good choice. Experienced APEX developers can also use this book as a reference.
