One nagging thing about APEX occurs often to me. It’s the inability to customize the Workspace Login Page.
In APEX Instances within corporations you may want to display your own Logo or some custom text explaining your developers what to do and what not.
One of the smaller but really helpful and cool features of Oracle APEX 4.0 is the Available Updates Section.
Yesterday the Patchset APEX 4.0.1.00.03 was released and today i can see it in my APEX Builder.
The Oracle APEX Builder Plugin is a productivity and usability enhancement tool for the development environment of Oracle Application Express (APEX).
It integrates with Firefox and Internet Explorer to put a wealth of new features to your favourite development tool. The good news is, it’s Open Source and you can use it for free!
Just a quick note: When you are working with a multilingual/translated APEX Application you sometimes need to join LOV Values in your SELECT Statement.
There is a lot going on this year, many interesting things happen.
Conferences, Events, Workshops, ….
This posting deals with a Workshop in Vienna, Austria, and is in german only.
Von 13.-18. September 2010 veranstalten wir eine Workshop-Reihe zur neuen Oracle APEX Release 4.0 . Diese Reihe besteht aus 6 einzelnen und individuell buchbaren Tagen, jeder mit einem eigenen Thema und in sich abgeschlossen.

Everybody in the Software Industrie knows there is nothing like a bug free software, which is alright if you deal with it in a reasonable manner.
Talk about it, inform your customers, prepare workarounds for the nasty ones and bugfixes/patches for everything else.
I got a couple of questions over the last weeks regarding the ApexLib Framework and Oracle APEX 4.0.
Is ApexLib still under active development?
Do we need ApexLib on APEX 4.0?
What about my applications using ApexLib, can i upgrade to APEX 4.0?
In short: you don’t need to worry.
Just seconds after finding that Oracle APEX 4.0 is ready for download i hit the button (Tweets go first ;-) ) and downloaded my copy -> over 140 MB, but i was really lucky and got it after 10 min.
Finally, after months of waiting Oracle released Application Express 4.0 just a couple of minutes ago.
Do you know this: You just wanted to try something out and after a couple hours playing around with APEX you already have a pretty good application.
Problem is, you experimented on a demo-workspace or on apex.oracle.com and now want to move everything to your own personal development workspace.
Today i released the new Version 2.1 of the ApexLib Framework.
This is a maintenance release containing some bug fixes and new features.
Have you ever tried to create a truly interactive Form with APEX?
Struggling with JavaScript, AJAX calls in APEX, Application Processes and still it doesn’t work as you like?
Using the new ApexLib 2.1 all you need to do is create a PL/SQL Page Process and call it from a button with apexlib.process.executePageProcess.
