Kscope17 Preview

In samenwerking met ORCLAPEX-NL, naar jaarlijkse traditie de KScope preview.

Ook dit jaar willen we de presentatoren de kans geven om voor eigen publiek hun presentatie te doen. Daarnaast geeft dit ons thuisblijvers de kans om een aantal presentaties van wereldniveau bij te wonen.

We gaan uit van twee tracks van elk drie presentaties.

De agenda is als volgt:

Menno Hoogendijk: Powerful JavaScript Skills for Every APEX Developer

Are you a developer looking for steady JavaScript skills? We all have to deal with the same issues sooner or later. Knowing about the most common features will help you solve issues and create advanced applications.

We'll go over a lot of topics live: fundamentals, bad practices, their improvements, and new features. The result? End up with professional, organized code.

This session is intended for beginner and intermediate developers. Join my talk and get a better understanding about the ever-changing JavaScript landscape.

Niels de Bruijn: This is how we do it

Different kinds of APEX projects lead to different implementation techniques. Let us classify the project types we had in the past and how we dealt with them, not only from an implementation standpoint but also in how we interacted with our customer.

Dimitri Gielis: OMG! JavaScript Straight from the Oracle Database

When APEX and the core database features were not enough, I started to investigate how to run JavaScript straight from the database. My results were baffling – and I want to share them with you. I'll explain how you can do it yourself and show many live demos where this new technique is useful.

Roel Hartman: Docker for Dummies

You might (or might not) have heard of Docker, but you have no idea what it is and why you should care. But if you are a Database or APEX developer and still work with Virtual Machines, it is about time to broaden your horizon.

In this session, you'll learn what Docker is and how you can benefit from it in your daily work.

Christian Rokitta: Browser Developer Tool Essentials for APEX Developers

If you are an APEX developer, you do use a browser to create applications that do run in a browser. Thus the browser is one of your primary tools. When you are developing in SQL or PL/SQL, your IDE (SQL Developer, TOAD, PLSQL Developer,…) offer you lots of functionality to support your work and enhance productivity. But building web applications, development is not limited to database objects. Suddenly you need to work with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Although APEX is doing a great job in hiding this complexity with a declarative approach, the more you develop with APEX, the more you will get into these techniques. Suddenly, you will need your browser beyond its rendering capabilities, and indeed, modern browsers are more like an IDE nowadays.
Debugging, testing, performance tuning, these are just a few aspects that you can do with your browser. This presentation will go through the latest techniques and features that browsers have to offer for us (APEX) developers, things you should know and use.

Alex Nuijten: Life After Forms: The Move to APEX

Companies struggle with the question: Should we move to APEX when the time has come to let go of Oracle Forms?
This session will tell the story of a migration project where the Oracle Forms application needed to be replaced with an APEX application. What could we have done better? What are the lessons learned? What was the best choice that we made during this project? Not from the books, but from experience.
