Better late than never on this one this job thing really gets in the way of blogging sometimes ;) .
I had two sessions this Oracle World , well I had a session and I helped out on another.
Sessions (Helper)
The session I helped out with a bit was Mark Drake's Oracle Application Express and Oracle XML Database: A Match Made in the Database. This session had it's beginning's way back at Web2.0 Expo where Mark and I shared a demo booth. XMLDB has a standard sample/demo called XFILES which is a simple yet full featured file management system using all XMLDB features. But it requires using a java server and is kinda slow , well I think it's slow but I might be biased.
So I was like hey Mark! you should build this in APEX since we are both built in features of the database. And lo and behold the his session was born. I helped on and off with building the demo application , and it was a big learning experience, both with the features XMLDB provides as well as were APEX does not leverage them well, something we will be working on improving.
Mark at OOW asked if I could sit in so if there was any specific APEX questions, and hey I'm a people person so of course I said yes. The session was very well attended with many people in the audience already familiar with APEX and/or XMLDB. Mark covered the basics of XMLDB and I quickly went over APEX basic's and then it was all demo.
I really think the application demo and explanation of how things were created was a hit, it showed the power of XMLDB as well as how APEX can leverage it's features directly out of the databasey. Just the number of hands that came up with people saying things like
shows that this session hit a sweet spot. A couple things I got from this is that people like that APEX can directly leverage built in database features and want more of it easier, and secondly I need to really make time to clean up that XFILES application so it can be a packaged application.
Sessions (Mine)
My session was titled Web 2.0 using Oracle Application Express and was pretty well attended , especially since I was up against two other APEX sessions at the end of the day. I like my sessions slide light , demo heavy and with audience participation . Luckily I didn't rewrite my whole demo and slides the day my session as I'm known to do though I was editing right up till the end.
My presentation had two parts.
A technical part that expected people to know or at least have knowledge of APEX and it's built in javascript framework already. During this part of the session I went over features in APEX that were used to build Interactive reports. It goes something like this, in Interactive Reports we have this feature, and this is how it was built
...code ensues...
I like this format since it shows at a low level way how to build features but leaves it up to the developers how they want to leverage it.
I also stress using the proper debugging tools when building client side features , specifically Firefox with Firebug , though I did point out that newer versions of other browsers are also getting these features. Basically if your using a browser that doesn't give you proper error message IE 6/7 among others DO NOT use it for development, your making it harder on yourself and wasting time.
You download my application from here to mess around with.
The second part of my presentation is the real fun part where I get to talk about upcoming features in APEX. So after showing my safe harbor slide , the one that keeps me out of trouble with the boss's , I was able to go over features that we are working on for future release's.
Improvements to the base functions $x() $v() $s() which are the base functions when dealing with page items.
Namespacing of our javascript libraries so that we play nice with other third party javascript libraries.
The use of chaining in our javascript library so that javascript is more compact and reusable.
And finally and my favorite!
Though I've hinted to people off and on for awhile we will be including in the base jQuery library in our next release! It's all signed of and everything and I'm busy rewriting our code to leverage jQuery underneath, one of the reason's it's been tough for me to get these posts out.
In my next post I will go over how the inclusion of jQuery effect's APEX. It's both a bigger and yet smaller change than you might think

- Hey I need to build that in the near future and these are great ideas.
- Hey can I have that application?

Looking forward to hearing about the JQuery integration. New default date picker? Mmmm, that sounds good, I think I'll have that.
Thanks for all of the hard work.
I can't commit to the time for the release of XFILES application though there has been work done on it since OOW.
I really like that application so am taking the time to get the parts I'm working on working on as slick and solid as I can. I think and want it to be very useful for people.

Carl
In your post you say:
"In my next post I will go over how the inclusion of jQuery effect's APEX. It's both a bigger and yet smaller change than you might think"
I'm considering using jQuery in my app but I'm wondering if it might not be better to wait until it is officially introduced in Apex before I start using it.
What is your advice on that?
Thanks
Johannes
I say go for it, we are just going to be using vanilla jQuery, and you will just be ahead of the game.
The only thing that you won't be able to take advantage of is the new APEX stuff that takes advantage of jQuery.
I'll try and get the full jQuery blog post out tomorrow that will flesh out the details.
But I'm a day away from a 4 day weekend so I might not make it ;)
No problem. I'm an old mainframe programmer your post will be out way before I've even downloaded jQuery ;-)
Enjoy your 4 day weekend.
Johannes
I can't believe it! Can we get confirmation somewhere?

Carl, we hardly knew ye! You're a great guy, so good to those of us trying to learn Apex. You were the rock star that us regular guys could say we'd hung around with. One of our touchstones to all things Apex. A regular, fun guy. Our world won't be quite the same without you.
I am makie-shi (Japanese lacquer artist) and shoka(Japanese calligrapher).
I have spent my life working on traditional Japanese lacquer(urushi).
I am the Kyoto style artist and I have samurai soul.
I can make samurai maetate of Japanese helmets ,inro ,saya of Japanese sword ,gold Japanese lacquer boxes and so on.I have the highest skill in Japan.
Japanese lacquer art is made with gold ,silver ,platinum and so on.
The subjects I pick are very often nature.
I admire Mr.Lawrence Joseph Ellison in every way.
I am very happy that he research and learn
about Japanese culture and arts like Zen.I think he is a true samurai.
I'd like to ask him to become my patron.
He must have been extra busy , but if he would not mind helping me get through this tough competition, that would be tremendously appreciated.
I sent my work(sho) and the photograph of my work(urushi)to Oracle head office. But I hardly ever get back his reply.
It may be that he doesn't get my photos and works.
Could you help me?
I'm at a loss. But I can not want to give up.
I would like to contact him.
I would like to go to America to meet him.
I'd like to ask him to become my patron.
I wish I could contact him somehow or other.
Could you help me? My Email Address is spkv9xz9@yahoo.co.jp .
Thank you so much for your kind reply.
