There is a really nice demo here of using Application Express and Oracle Spatial here, http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/products/mapviewer/index.html

Being an old GIS person myself , thats right a bachelors degree in
Geography can get you just about anywhere ;), I always like seeing new
ways of building maps and querying geographic data.

Beyond that this application shows one of the real powerful concepts of
Application Express, since it's tied closely to the Oracle database
with minimal effort it is very easy to build applications that take advantage of the
features of the database Spatial / Intermedia / Oracle Text / XMLDB to name some of my favorites.



Update : The link to the files seems to be broken I shot off an email to the file owner and hopefully it will get fixed quickly.


The link issue has been fixed.

CSS is extremely important in web development and this page has a huge
list of CSS tools both to uhhh .... borrow .... other sites CSS
ideas and to help you build your own.

A bunch of prepackaged applications have been released by the Application Express team.

I especially like the Document Library because of some of the AJAX and DHTML I helped out with.

Especially my new $xml_Control(pThis) object.  You'll
be seeing much more of this , and probably a code example as well, because
it's just so useful. In short it takes care of one of the major problems of updating multiple parts of page at same time, it's also an easy way to move complex data constructs to the client and query them for data,  I have all sorts of ideas for this one ;).

Well since everyone else is at OW I get to keep working along
at things, like continuing to hurt my head on regular expressions for
the Wiki application and finishing up some code examples.
