Product Description
Product Description
Application Express, or APEX, is one of the most innovative products to come out of Oracle in years. APEX is an application development framework for developing database-backed applications. It's easy enough to get started in that power users can quit storing data in random spreadsheets and instead centralize their data in the powerful Oracle database, all without developer help. Developers arent left out, however. Those who choose to can go deep and leverage the full power and flexibility of Oracles database engine.
Getting started with APEX is easy. Learning how to take full advantage of APEX is the problem. It was the problem, that is, until this book came along. In Pro Oracle Application Express, authors John Scott and Scott Spendolini open the "hood" of APEX and expose the full power behind its easy-to-use GUI interface. They show you what you need to know to produce powerful, professionally polished applications, things such as user-authentication models, approaches to layout and navigation, how to integrate Ajax, how to deal with localization issues such as time zones and translations, how to customize the look and feel of an APEX web site, and much, much more.
The authors are well-qualified to write on APEX. John Scott runs ShellPrompt, a hosting service that handles many large-scale APEX applications, some of which he is paid to develop. John is a hard-core APEX developer. His coauthor, Scott Spendolini, is one of the original creators of APEX. Both John and Scott now base their fulltime careers on developing APEX applications. Pro Oracle APEX is your opportunity to learn APEX from the very best.

Customer Reviews
The book has taken a long time to make it to print, but is worth the wait; whilst there are plenty of on-line resources to get you started with Apex, this book takes you through the next steps in depth. It is really well written and easy to read, with clear and useful example code throughout.
If you use, or are looking into using Apex, then this book is a must.
If you're a seasoned 'vet' in the APEX world or just starting out, you NEED this book.
It is crammed with insight and real-world examples into the key foundations that will make your APEX Application Development efforts a success.
10/10
I strongly feel that you guys need an online magazine supplement to this book to enable you provide more examples of the application features.
Something along the lines of the online Oracle Magazine supplements.
Your updates to the book can simply come from a collection of the finer points in the online supplement.
Would recommend it to anyone who's ready to go beyond the basics.
There is very little explanation about the standard use of APEX. Read more
a totally independent peer-review to iron out the mistakes and
the gaps in the flow of information. Read more
