Oracle APEX Application Development Lifecycle

Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) involve continuous testing, integration, and deployment of code changes, ensuring that the software is always up-to-date and can be released to production quickly and with confidence.

In this session, we will start with understanding the architecture of a typical APEX Project and how best practices of CI/CD can be adopted when building applications using Oracle APEX. We will explore the Team Development module available in Oracle APEX, using which teams can track bugs and features to plan milestones. We will also discuss how you can create re-installable artefacts using the available tools and how teams can leverage various version control systems to manage the history of changes in APEX applications. We will also touch on how to maintain separate environments for Dev, Test and Prod and seamlessly move your APEX applications and database objects between these environments during the development phase. Finally, we will also script and automate your APEX applications’ build, test and deployment process.

LCT – Low Code Testing for APEX

There is a significant need for testing in the APEX ecosystem. Although there are many frameworks that specialize in testing front-ends of web applications, there is none that is perfectly tailored to Oracle APEX. With LCT – Low Code Testing, there is now an intuitive APEX application that can test APEX applications in no time. Other test frameworks have to deal with the special cases that differentiate APEX front-ends from other web applications and often hit their limits. With LCT, however, you can achieve your desired goal with almost no custom test code and save significant time. This way, you can be sure that your APEX applications are functioning reliably and optimally suited for your users.

Another Two Years with APEX – APEX latest and greatest features

Oracle’s low code platform Application Express (APEX) keeps on going from strength to strength, rolling out new features at a yearly cadence.  There’s a lot of new features available each year, and more coming down the pipeline.

Thanks to popular request, and as Oracle APEX is very popular in Perth, AUSOUG has invited Jeff & Scott to talk to the Perth dev community about their favourite features that have arrived in the last 2 years, and a sneak peak of features yet to come.

The evolution of templates

In APEX 23.1, we are introducing two new game-changing features for templates. To understand which problem they solve, we will take a step back and talk a bit about the evolution of templates. Templates used to be simple and only supported substitutions. Added features over the years are: escape mode modifiers, quote syntax, and text message substitution. A significant change in APEX 20.2 was the introduction of Template Directives. These “special” tokens in a template control how the text around it is processed. APEX 23.1 takes Template Directives to the next level. Learn all about Dynamic Templates and Template Components in this session.

All things background: Automations, Synchronizations and Background Page Processes

APEX offers a lot of declarative background execution functionality. With APEX 20.2, Automations and REST Source Synchronizations were introduced; and the upcoming release, APEX 23.1 plans to introduce declarative background execution of Page Processes. The session will introduce these declarative features, how to use them and how they work internally.

Incorporating Microsoft Office 365 Services into your APEX Apps

Microsoft Office 365 is ubiquitous in today’s businesses. Enabling users to interact seamlessly with Office 365 services from your APEX applications is becoming increasingly important. Integrating with Office 365 Services is possible using MS Graph APIs, APEX REST Data Sources, and some PL/SQL.
