Oracle APEX Best Practices from Packt Publications

Many of my IT Colleagues and Managers come to me asking for a simple and easy solution to deploy an application quickly and the first tool that hints me is Oracle Apex. I started to use when it was called HTMLDB and it was a fun to learn it. 

I would like to recommend a book for all who are going to be using or already using Oracle Apex. This book is published by Packtpub and it is written by Oracle Apex Experts. The interesting part I liked in this book is using advanced SQL and PLSQL in Apex for developing real-world applications.

So here is a snapshot of what you are going to learn from this book

• Lesser known features of SQL and PL/SQL
• Incorporate printing capabilities
• Create secure applications
• Troubleshooting and Debugging
• Setting up your environment
• Best practices for building real life applications

You can view the sample chapters and prefaces of this title on PacktLib or download sample chapters in PDF format.

ORACLE and SAP will be my tools

In future I will be blogging about Oracle and SAP technologies in this same blog. Well I have been working on Oracle Technologies for over 10 years now and at my current project my customer will be migrating from Oracle to SAP. I am going to support Oracle to SAP migration and as well as implementation of SAP Business Objects and SAP HANA DB and also some Oracle BI environment.

It is now quite sometime and I am used to SAP technologies. 

I would say SAP BO is a killer but Oracle OBIEE has a lot more than it. I am not comparing both of them because according to market each have its own value.

SAP HANA DB is a starter whereas Oracle Database is the only King in the Market. With all its features it would take many years to catch up with Oracle. Hana is not a true RDB , for example it does not have foreign key relationship yet on its latest version but in future they will. Hana want applications to take care of most of the work. Interesting...

Catch up later and do watch for more from this blog. Thanks for reading all these years.
