APEX Under the Covers
 |
By Karen Cannell The best way to learn Oracle Application Express (APEX) is to see a useful feature demonstrated, then take a look "under the covers" to learn exactly how that feature was implemented. This whitepaper discusses a series of not-so-intuitive features in APEX and then takes a detailed look under the covers at the implmentation details, using a mix of APEX constructes, AJAX and JavaScript. Readers will be able to broaden their approach to APEX development, and gain a few more tactics for their APEX toolbox. |

Extreme Makeover: Forms Edition
(The Ugly Form Transformed)
 |
By Karen Cannell This paper discusses makeover strategies for legacy, code-heavy, "ugly" Oracle Forms that have yet to be converted for web deployment, or worse yet, are deployed on the web but really shouldn’t be.Depending on when and how the original Form was written, the transformation can be an “Extreme Makeover” — a radical transformation from an undesirable state to a much-improved one.Three levels of makeover tips for shaping up Forms applications for web deployment are discussed, using one extremely ugly form as a case study to illustrate each of the increasingly invasive “makeover” levels and the lessons learned in the process.
