As promised I've put up the export of my demo application from Oracle World , for people who were at ODTUG in New Orleans it's pretty much the same application I showed there.
Thanks, for everybody who showed up I had a great time and hopefully was able to give people some ideas. I'll see what the rules are for me putting my slides on slideshare or something like that , but at some point Oracle will putting up the slides and a recording of the session.
Download the Application
Edit
The application will only work in Firefox, but that is only because it was built specifically to show Firebug features.
If you remove anything that says console.log or console.dir it will work in other browsers.
Regards,
Carl
Been awhile since I've posted. That whole work thing will get in the way of that on occasion.
Anyway for people heading to Oracle World .
I'll be helping run the APEX hands on lab.

and also will have my very own session

Web 2.0 Development with Oracle Application Express
Past that I will be ducking in and out of sessions and unconference events as well as working the APEX booth (by far my favorite part of Oracle World).
I'm pretty excited about this years Oracle World as APEX seems to be , is ;) , huge this year.
I'll be posting updates here on http://twitter.com/carlback and on http://friendfeed.com/carlback so feel free to follow along I'll do my best to keep everyone in loop.
If your at Oracle World please stop by the APEX booth and say hello, and if your not feel free to send me questions through the above service , or http://mix.oracle.com and I'll do my best to answer them or corner someone that can.
P.S. You know it's going to be a long week when Raj calls me up because he heard a rumor I'm already in SF ;) watch that guy he's trouble, but his session will be awesome!!!!
I just received an email that my abstract for a presentation at ODTUG Kaleidoscope has been accepted.
Congratulations! Your abstract, Building the New Stuff: AJAX, JSON, and APEX 3.1, has been accepted for presentation at ODTUG Kaleidoscope 2008, June 15-19, in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Gotta love that title!
I've never been to New Orleans so am really looking forward to going, I've been told it's my kinda city. If you have any hints / ideas of things I need to go see or do while there please drop me a line or leave a comment.
I have big plans for my session, like it working unlike my first try at Oracle World. Thanks again unconference you saved the day!
I'm not sure if there is demo grounds there or not but if there is I'll be working the APEX booth or at least circling and grabbing people for APEX demos, if there's not I'll be stalking around crowds of people doing pretty much the same thing.
See you there!!
So it's right before the demo grounds open at the last day at Oracle Open World, and I'm sure everybody is very tired.
I'm signed up to help at the demo booths for most of the day, which I really like doing, but of course as it seems is standard for me at this OOW there is a catch.
I have lost my voice!!!
But that's not going to stop me. I've written up a Word document I can point at with some standard phrases so I can at least be useful.
Hello, my name is Carl Backstrom , I apologize but I have lost my voice, fun huh?
But I can run you through some standard demos.
Have you used Application Express before?
I can show a very cool feature from the next version.
I can run you through the demo of creating an application from an existing database table.
I can run you through a demo of creating an application based off spreadsheet data.
Next version?
Calendar 2008
I have about a half hour before this all starts so if you can think of anything else you think people might ask that I should have prewritten throw in a comment and I'll add it in the Word doc.
Basically I'm going to see if APEX can just sell itself ;) which I think it can.
