Quick Note: this Friday, October 4th 2019, will be a morning event about extending Oracle APEX with Single Page Applications, Master-Detail, and Drag&Drop. In Vienna at the Oracle office.

Reserve a free spot in our AOP Introduction training, on November 8th 2019 in Vienna/Austria.
We invited Sunil Tandan from the APEX Office Print Team, to give a halfday intro training to everyone who is interested (and fits the room).
If you are in the area you should definitely book this.
A few years ago it was deemed state-of-the-art to store any kind of extra resources (images, css/js-files) directly on the webserver.
Of course this was just the best-practice, left with many who were not able to follow because of company restrictions: no access to web server, not allowed to store files, too many regulations, and so on.
Luckily APEX 5++ gave us nicely working Static Application Files and Static Workspace Files. Now everyone is using those to store extra files.
As a big fan of APEX Packaged Applications I always wanted to have a real life usecase for the Survey Builder.
Recently we held the very first edition of the “APEX Alpe Adria” conference in Graz, Austria (see this old post about how it started). This conference is meant for everyone in the Adriatic Region, and everyone willing to travel there.
With more than 180 attendees it was a huge success for the first edition. Today I want to share how we managed the conference, website, call for papers, selection, name tags, and so on.
Hint: With Oracle APEX you can do just about everything.
For the Analyse Webserver Logfile Application (AWL) I wanted to show better information instead of just the Useragent String, because they are a mess and contain confusing information.
As an example look at this Useragent String: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/59.0.3071.109 Safari/537.36
I rather would want to show it like this: Chrome (59) OS X
For my little Webserver Logfile Analysis project I had to solve the problem of how to stream data from a flat file into a relational datamodel in my target database.
Since I used NodeJS in several projects over the past years, it came to my mind at first. On a second thought and by consulting some friends another, easier, solution materialized:
Recently I wanted to set up better monitoring for our several FOEX webservers and decided not to use an off-the-shelf solution, since I wanted to have the analysis results in my Oracle Database, ready to be used by whatever internal tools we have.
This requirement pops up every now and then, time to put it in a blogpost so I can find it myself again when needed :-)
In various integration scenarios it is required to have users swiftly move between applications written in various technologies. This is very common for legacy Forms applications where some functionality is moved to APEX. From the Forms menu one entry could open a Form, another one an APEX page.
