Succeed in managing Oracle Application Express (APEX) environments. This book focuses on creating the right combination of scalability, high-availability, backup and recovery, integrity, and resource control. The book covers everything from simple to enterprise-class deployments, with emphasis on enterprise-level requirements and coverage of cloud and hybrid-cloud scenarios. Many books cover how to develop applications in Oracle APEX. It’s a tool with a fast-growing user-base as developers come to know how quick and easy it is to create new applications that run in a browser. However, just getting an application off the ground is only a small part of a bigger picture. Applications must be supported. They must be available when users need them. They must be robust against disaster and secure against malicious attack. These are the issues addressed in Oracle Application Express Administration. These are the issues that when tackled successfully lead to long term success in using Oracle APEX as a rapid application-development toolset. Readers of this book learn how to install the Oracle APEX engine in support of small-scale projects such as at the departmental level, and in support of enterprise-level projects accessed by thousands of users across dozens of time zones. Readers learn to take advantage of Oracle Database’s underlying feature set in regards to application scalability and performance, integrity, security, high-availability, and robustness against failure and data loss. Oracle Application Express Administration also describes different cloud solutions, integration with Oracle E-Business Suite, and helps in taking advantage of multitenancy in Oracle Database 12c and beyond. Covers important enterprise considerations such as scalability, robustness, high-availability. Describes cloud-based application deployment scenarios Focuses on creating the right deployment environment for long-term success What You Will Learn Install, upgrade, and configure robust APEX environments Back up and recover APEX applications and their data Monitor and tune the APEX engine and its applications Benefit from new administration features in APEX 5.0 Run under multi-tenant architecture in Oracle Database 12c Manage the use of scarce resources with Resource Manager Secure your data with advanced security features Build high-availability into your APEX deployments Integrate APEX with Oracle E-Business Suite Who This Book Is For Architects, administrators, and developers who want to better understand how APEX works in a corporate environment. Readers will use this book to design deployment architectures around Oracle Database strengths like multi-tenancy, resource management, and high availability. The book is also useful to administrators responsible for installation and upgrade, backup and recovery, and the ongoing monitoring of the APEX engine and the applications built upon it.

In this fast paced technological age, where things change rapidly, no one has the time to go through lengthy concept books just to assess what the technology has for them. As an IT professional, I too prefer concise practical books that do not take long to understand the features offered by the new technology. As a strong supporter of practical stuff, I have endeavored to write this book on Oracle Application Express. In this book, I am sharing my personal APEX learning experience that I got by developing a clone of the sample application provided with Oracle Application Express. This book will walk you through to create a professional looking web-based database application. A great starting point for novice and equally beneficial for intermediate users, this book will allow users to practically explore Oracle Application Express (APEX) themselves. Besides creation of individual application pages, this book will demonstrate many professional techniques, summarized at the end of each chapter, to apply them to your own projects. Leaving out the boring bits, this book will emphasize on the inspiring and realistic example from the first chapter and will provide guidance in the following areas to make it a one-stop solution: -APEX introduction -Create APEX development environment -Create a professional looking web-based database application in APEX -Advanced Reporting -Application deployment -Access the application, remotely and in LAN If you really want to know what APEX is, try the practical stuff provided in this book and become an APEX fan. I hope this to be the best practical book on Oracle Application Express.

Take the guesswork out of using regular expressions. With more than 140 practical recipes, this cookbook provides everything you need to solve a wide range of real-world problems.

Learn how to use Oracle's JavaScript Extension Toolkit (JET) as a solution to the all too common problem of internal back office and intranet applications that are typically ugly, clunky, and cumbersome to use. JET simultaneously provides you with a JavaScript toolkit that is cutting-edge while being stable enough for enterprise development in an ecosystem that is notorious for its fast-paced rate of change. Practical Oracle JET walks through the process of developing a functional application using Oracle JET. By the end of this book you will have built a support ticket system using a variety of different components bundled with the toolkit, including lists, inputs, and visualizations. The skills acquired from reading this book and working the examples equip you to build your own applications and take your understanding even further to more advanced topics.
