I finally can start on a new mobile Application, for the first time using Oracle APEX 4.2.1 for a productive mobile App. All my other mobile Applications have been built with previous Versions of APEX and my self made themes.

In my previous Post i tried to shed some light on all the different areas ApexLib is covering. This time I’d like to tell you about the future of the ApexLib Framework on and after Oracle Application Express 4.2.
