This is my eleventh book on Oracle Application Express (APEX) written for the latest version. Just like my previous books that exposed the technology to thousands around the globe, this book is also aimed at absolute beginners who wish to learn from self-paced professional guidance and need a solid foundation in Oracle APEX.

The world of technology is changing very rapidly. Things that used to be done in months are now being done in days and even hours. There are so many web development technologies out there and to pick the right one as a beginner is a very tedious task. Web development comes with a huge set of rules and techniques every web developer should know about. If you want your web applications to look and function as you wish them to, you need to put on many hats to get familiar with web technologies that will help you achieve your goal. We are building a world where any business idea can be automated in minutes. From web application development prespective you need a platform to rapidly respond to these ever changing deamands. This is where Oracle APEX fits in.

Oracle APEX is a low-code application development platform and this is the most exciting feature of Oracle APEX that efficiently copes with the current trends. Low-code app development enables people without technical backgrounds to develop innovative apps and can help speed time to develop. It has the capability to make everyone a developer. From software customization to complex apps, low-code is capable of equipping any employee with powerful tools for improved operational efficiency. Low-code platforms enable agility and faster, more accessible development cycles. One benefit of low-code app development is it allows non-coders to prototype solutions quickly. These solutions can be tested, evaluated and refined without having to involve formal software development staff members.

As a low-code web application development tool, Oracle APEX helps you create complete applications visually with the help of drag-and-drop interface and wizards. Rather than writing thousands of lines of complex code and syntax, this low-code platform allows you to build complete applications with modern user interfaces, integrations, data and logic quickly and visually.

If you have strong intentions to become a dynamic web developer, then you have landed on the right page. This book will provide you with a solid foundation of Oracle APEX and will set a firm ground to develop robust application systems to fulfill the information requirements of your organization.
