Description

Developing data-centric web applications can be a real challenge as it is a multi-disciplinary process. There are many technologies involved in the client side (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and so on); the interaction with the database, on the server side; the typeless nature of the web environment; and above all, the need to put it all together. This needs to be done in a manner that will allow the end users to do their job in the simplest and most efficient way, while enriching their user experience. How often have you wished that developing such applications could be uncomplicated and straightforward? This book will show you that it's possible, and teaches you how to do it, using Oracle Application Express (APEX).With this practical guide to APEX, you'll learn how to easily develop data-centric web applications for the Oracle environment. The book covers the development cycle of an APEX application, reviewing the major APEX principles and building blocks chapter by chapter. It starts with the basic skills you need to get going when developing with APEX. Later, you will learn advanced issues, such as how to build tailor-made forms and reports, using APEX APIs, AJAX, and so on. It not only deals with the "How" but also with the "Why", and before long you will be able to understand APEX concepts, and use them to expand and enhance the built-in features, wizards, and tools.The book starts with the design phase, including building the necessary database objects infrastructure; continues with ways to implement the application logic (on the server side) and the User Interface (on the client side), whilst showing you how to enhance your applications' features and functionality according to your specific needs; and it ends with application deployment.The book emphasizes and clearly documents areas such as Globalization, Localization, and developing multi-lingual applications, and includes a special discussion about Right-To-Left (RTL) support for APEX applications, documented here for the first time.Throughout the book, there are many screenshots and snippets of code, taken from working APEX applications. The book is accompanied by demo APEX applications that you can download and install in your APEX environment, thoroughly analyze, and learn from as you read the book.

Who is this book for?

This book is for developers, in general, and web developers, in particular, who wish to learn how to develop data-centric web applications in the Oracle environment. It is also for novice APEX developers, who wish to learn how to use and best utilize the APEX environment, as well as for more experience APEX developers who wish to improve their knowledge and understanding of APEX and its capabilities, and learn from the experience of others.It assumes basic knowledge of HTML, SQL, and PL/SQL. Basic JavaScript understanding is an advantage, and in general can make your life much easier as an APEX developer.

Great book on Oracle Application Express (APEX), good way to get started and nice reference for more advanced developers. Very well structured. I think especially the first three chapters provide a great introduction into APEX, starting with defining what this product is actually all about, followed by a very good definition of the various technologies and standards used on APEX , and then providing a nice overview of the basic concepts. Subsequent chapters provide a nice reference on concepts like items, computations, validations, processes, etc. And even though APEX 4.0 was recently released, this book on APEX 3.2 is still very relevant and useful for anyone learning to develop web applications with APEX, regardless of whether APEX 3.2 or 4.0 is used.

Very well structured and detailed release on Oracle Application Express (APEX) 3.2. As a matter of fact, APEX 4.0 has been recently released, but this publication is still very relevant and useful for anyone who wishes to learn to develop web applications with APEX, either using APEX 3.2 or APEX 4.0. And I am absolutely convinced it is a good reference for the more experienced APEX developers as well. What makes me truly pleased is that an entire chapter has been dedicated to AJAX as well. Recomended!
