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.

Getting up to speed with Oracle Application Express (APEX)

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 Oracle 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 Oracle 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 Oracle APEX Service on the Oracle Cloud. 2. Start making your first apps using one of the Oracle 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 so...

Common misperceptions around Oracle APEX

In the last years, I spoke with many in the IT industry about low-code and there seem to be several misperceptions around Oracle APEX, so I thought it is time to address these in this blog post. Here we go: 1. "APEX is only for Oracle customers" Existing Oracle Database customers can install APEX right-away without paying anything extra, have the infrastructure and licensing already set up, have the personnel to manage it all and store their data already in the Oracle Database. So, yes, APEX is very attractive for existing Oracle Database customers. Does that mean it is limited to this scenario? No. There are multiple reasons why you should start using APEX, although your company has no track record with Oracle: - Your data can reside outside the Oracle database. No matter if you are using PostgreSQL, MS SQL Server, SAP, Hubspot, MS Dynamics, Spotify, etc.: you can integrate it all without programming a single line of code! APEX is doing a great job and can handle even comple...

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...
