In this video, we learn lots of stuff about:
  • Websheets (00:23)
  • Dynamic Actions (oo:37)
  • Charts (00:40)
  • REST Web Services (00:46:30)
  • Plug-Ins (00:56:30)
  • Improved Interactive Reports (01:02:45)
  • Improved Application Builder (01:09:30)
  • APEX Extended Vision (01:12:45)
  • APEX Listener (01:13:25)
  • Q&A (01:24:30)

But we don't learn a lot about:
  • Declarative Tabular Forms
  • AJAX Client-Side Validations
  • Improved Error Handling
  • Improved Tree Controls
  • jQuery and jQuery UI
  • Item Attributes (Textareas: Resizable)
  • JavaScript Date pickers
  • Combo Box (editable select list)
My favourites topics:
  • Dynamic Actions: Good for those new to DHTML. I think we'll come up with a mix of Dynamic Actions and APEX Plug-Ins to make fantastic UI.
  • Plug-Ins: It's now time to have some fun with jQuery Plug-Ins!!!
  • Improved Interactive Reports: I think it's a normal evolution of the component. I expect to have alternative sort (available for the classic report).
  • Improved Application Builder: Expected enhancements to the Application Builder. Better navigation and reporting... a great tool even greater!
  • AJAX Client-Side Validations: This will probably be used by the Tabular Forms... good for Oracle FORMS conversion to APEX.
  • jQuery and jQuery UI: I have a good expertise with this JavaScript library... I am happy to see that it will be part of APEX.

I can't wait to have my hands on this version! :)

A New Dawn: From Oracle Apex to Generative AI

Hello dear readers, If you've been here before, you'll remember a time when this space was filled with insights and tutorials on Oracle Application Express (Apex). It's been over a decade since my last post, and the tech landscape has shifted remarkably since then. Today, I'm excited to delve into a topic that has piqued my interest in recent years: Generative AI, specifically focusing on prompt engineering for models like GPT and platforms such as Midjourney. Why the shift? In the past, I explored the intricacies of Apex, offering a helping hand to many as they navigated that ecosystem. But as I evolved in my tech journey, I became fascinated by how AI can generate content, assist in decision-making, and even partake in creative processes. What is Generative AI? Generative AI models, like GPT by OpenAI, are designed to produce content. By feeding them prompts, these models can write essays, poems, code, and even music. But the true art lies in "prompt engineering&
