12:00 - 13:30 Forms to APEX project lifecycle management
Dmitry Mezhuev, Intrum IT Architect.

For years Oracle Forms was a development tool of choice for many enterprises applications. Nowadays users are expecting to see a modern web UX from their enterprise
applications that makes the question of the redesign of the Forms applications very important for many companies.
In Intrum we started a project of the redesigning of the old Forms application to APEX about 1.5 years ago.
The presentation will address the issues related to the project structure, development team, infrastructure, build and test tools, standards and automation.

13:30 - 14:00 Coffee break

14:00 - 14:50 APEX development lifecycle automation panel discussion - Heli Helskyaho moderator, Dmitry Mezhuev, Shakeeb Rahman, Carsten Czarski, Marko Helskyaho

15:00 - 15:30 Starting APEX software project - development environment, installation and configuration is easy
Sami Lehtinen and Tero Taipale, Miracle Finland Oy.

Apex.oracle.com is a great place to explore and test the APEX development environment, but the best way to find out the potential possibilities of the APEX
is to use it with familiar data. Next phase to get started with the new software project is to do POC with your own data.
To do that the minimum requirement is to build up new development environment. That may sound difficult, time consuming and expensive, but is It really.

15:30 - 16:15 Design a database for your APEX application
Heli Helskyaho is the CEO for Miracle Finland Oy and an Ambassador for EOUC (EMEA Oracle Users Group Community).

Data and database is the core of every real application. APEX is a database centric low-code tool and therefore it is important to design the database well.
In this session we will see how database can be easily designed using Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler.
