Pro Oracle APEX assumes that readers already know the rudiments of using APEX. The book tackles the harder problem of showing readers how to take full advantage of the APEX framework. As with any framework, there are right and wrong ways to do things, and there are "blind-alleys" that are best avoided. Pro Oracle APEX gives readers what they need to know in order to build serious, enterprise-level applications useable by hundreds, even thousands of people. Cowritten by an original creator of APEX and a key APEX user with deep connections into Oracle's APEX development team, Pro Oracle APEX will be the book that sets the standard in its topic area.
