Expert Oracle Application Express ReviewI am not normally one who likes books with multiple authors, but in this case, that's the best way for this book to be written. 13 authors each write a chapter about different aspects of APEX, giving you a deeper understanding of their chosen subject.
With the way the book is written there is no dependency on reading one chapter before the others and you can easily read the sections that interest you most first and then move on to the other chapters at your leisure.
Here is a breakdown of the chapters:
Chapter 1: OHS, EPG and APEX Listener Compared. In this chapter John Edward Scott looks at the different web server choices and the pros and cons of each. He also shows you how to help make the server as efficient as possible.
Chapter 2: Oracle APEX 4.0 Charts Inside Out. In this chapter Dimitri Gielis talks about the options available for charting (HTML and Flash based). He talks about what goes on behind the scenes with charting and how to customize the XML generated that is used by the AnyChart engine to tweak your charts.
Chapter 3: Tabular Forms. In this chapter Denes Kubicek talks about what has changed with tabular forms in APEX 4.0 and how to code around "missing" functionality that he would like to see implemented in future versions.
Chapter 4: Team Development. In this chapter Roel Hartman talks about using the team development functionality built into APEX to track your projects bugs and development. While not a true project management tool, Roel gives some examples of how you can extend to the tool to add some missing functionality, and how to work with the feedback functionality.
Chapter 5: Globalization. In today's world applications and web sites are being accessed from all over the world. If your company deals with international clients, or you want to reach as many people as you can with your website, then globalization is important. In this chapter Francis Mignault takes you through the steps necessary to help set up your application for globalization and how to use translation to help users of your non-native language be able to interact with your application.
Chapter 6: Debugging. Doug Gault shows you how to use tools (both internal to APEX and external) to help you debug your application. He also mentions using debugging information to help spot performance trends over time, and what debugging information might not be captured and why.
Chapter 7: Dynamic Actions. Martin Giffy D'Souza talks about one of the most popular new features to be found in APEX 4.0. He talks about what dynamic actions are, how to create them and how they can be used.
Chapter 8: Security. In this chapter Anton Nielsen talks about how to help secure your application. In today's world more and more hackers are out there trying to get unauthorized access to your system whether for fun or profit. Anton talks about different types of attacks that can be used and ways to help close the security holes.
Chapter 9: Lifecycle Management. In this chapter Dietmar Aust shows us how to handle your project as it goes through its various changes. He talks about best practices and shows why it's necessary to have a standard process in place for handling releases.
Chapter 10: Working with APEX Collections. In this chapter Raj Mattamal shows us what APEX collections are and how/where to use them to extend APEX's native session state functionality.
Chapter 11: Plug-Ins. In this chapter Dan McGhan shows us the different types of plug-ins that available for creation, shows us the plug-in architecture and walks us through examples of creating each of the different types.
Chapter 12: Architecture. In this chapter Michael Hichwa gives a brief overview of APEX and provides some insight into what goes on behind the scenes.
Chapter 13: Advanced Interactive Reporting. Here Sharon Kennedy shows us how to take the data stored in our databases and present it nicely with APEX's built in reporting tool.
This is an excellent book that I feel will help take someone with a good understanding of APEX development to the next level. I feel the authors did what they set out to accomplish with this book, and I highly recommend it to anyone using APEX for web development.Expert Oracle Application Express Overview
