Ladies and gentleman: start your engines!

I'm happy to announce the official start of Call for Papers for our 5th edition of DOAG APEX Connect. Until 8-NOV, everybody can submit their abstract for a 45 minute presentation (incl. Q&A) about Oracle Application Express, SQL, PL/SQL or JavaScript. The conference will take place in Bonn from 07-MAY up to 09-MAY at the flashy Kameha Grand Hotel. As a presenter, you will get free entrance during the whole conference including all DOAG events that take place.
If you are not sure what it takes to submit a compelling abstract, I suggest you have a look at our guide: Eleven steps to a succesful submission of your presentation. I encourage everybody to submit an abstract, as it is a great experience to be part of the conference as a presenter.



Due to time constraints, Christian Schwitalla and Peter Raganitsch had to gave up their seat in the conference committee. All I can say is: THANK YOU for your hard work in your spare time and making APEX Connect to what it is! +1

Let me take this opportunity to welcome our newest members in the conference committee: Sabine Heimsath will cover the SQL & PL/SQL track and Tobias Arnhold the APEX track. Together with Kai Donato (JavaScript) and Simone Fischer (Project Lead) we are determined to bring APEX Connect 2019 to the next level. A sneak preview of what we have planned will be uncovered at the DOAG conference in Nürnberg, so stay tuned.

Abstract Selection Process for APEX Connect

-
I noticed that there is almost nothing published on the internet about how an abstract selection process works. Being the program manager for DOAG APEX Connect, I would like to share some insights about how this process works for this conference. Please be aware that all I say here is only applicable to DOAG APEX Connect and the process might change in the future. Also, other DOAG conferences may handle this process a bit different. With APEX Connect 2019, we started our journey by opening Call for Papers. During this time, everybody was able to submit a paper through our website https://apex.doag.org. We encouraged everybody to read through our submission guidelines, as your abstract will be the basis for acceptance: https://apex.doag.org/en/news/details/eleven-steps-to-a-successful-submission-of-your-presentation-1/ We received a stunning 171(!) abstracts during Call for Papers, but only 53 regular sessions could fit in the program schedule. Even though we strive to give each pre

Want to start developing web applications with Oracle Application Express? Make sure you don't reinvent the wheel and adapt good practises from industry experts right from the start. Here are some tips for beginners: 1. If you don't already have APEX installed, don't install it yourself, but get a free workspace within minutes on apex.oracle.com  to be used for demo purposes. To learn about APEX in the Oracle Cloud, you can use the always free tier on cloud.oracle.com/free with two databases up to 20 GB database storage each without any cost. For production purposes, we recommend that you pay 112 €/month (as of 16-APR-2024) for the APEX Service on the Oracle Cloud. 2. Start making your first apps using one of the APEX tutorials: Hyand (German):  apex.mt-itsolutions.com/development  (includes good practises!) Oracle (English):  apex.oracle.com/en/learn/tutorials  ( here is a good overview of these) 3.  Take note of some the shortcuts from Oracle: apex.oracle.com

About sustainability & Oracle APEX

The climate crises is here and immediate counteracting is required to prevent worse. Key is to take into account environmental and social aspects in each buying decision. Above all, a sustainable planet requires developed countries to consume less, a lot less. Starting at 2025, businesses in Europe need to report their carbon footprint besides the usual regulatory financial reporting. Regarding IT, this includes the carbon footprint produced by hardware. A better utilization rate of hardware leads to less hardware required. Companies like Vodafone monitor the utilization rate of their servers as well as the power consumption for each infrastructure component using Oracle Application Express (APEX) to reduce the carbon footprint of their data center. On software level, program code affects the required energy consumption. For example, in terms of database usage, are all records read out even if only one record is required? In terms of storage: do we really need to keep data stored infin
