Pro Oracle Application Express

Pro Oracle APEX assumes that readers already know the rudiments of using APEX. The book tackles the harder problem of showing readers how to take full advantage of the APEX framework. As with any framework, there are right and wrong ways to do things, and there are "blind-alleys" that are best avoided. Pro Oracle APEX gives readers what they need to know in order to build serious, enterprise-level applications useable by hundreds, even thousands of people. Cowritten by an original creator of APEX and a key APEX user with deep connections into Oracle's APEX development team, Pro Oracle APEX will be the book that sets the standard in its topic area.

Coauthored by one of APEX's original creators Provides deep coverage of enterprise-level development topics that other books ignore or gloss over Covers advanced topics essential for building large systems Concentrates directly on Application Express development, without wasting the reader's time on side-topics that they already know, or that are best learned from other books

Pro Oracle Application Express opens the "hood" of APEX and reveals the full power behind its easy-to-use GUI interface. This book shows you what you need to know to produce powerful, professionally polished applications: such as user-authentication models, approaches to layout and navigation, how to integrate Ajax, how to deal with localization issues like time zones and translations, how to customize the look and feel of an APEX web site, and more. The authors are well-qualified to write on APEX. John Scott is a hard-core APEX developer and his coauthor, Scott Spendolini, is one of the original creators of APEX.
