Rob van Wijk

Last Tuesday, the fourth OGh APEX World day took place, again at Figi Zeist. Several people have already written about this day: Christian Rokitta, about the announcements from David Peake in his keynote, Bart Peeters from iAdvise, with comments about several sessions and Rob de Gouw from Quobell, written in Dutch. Here is a short writeup about my experiences that day. For me, this year was a Rob van Wijkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00499478359372903250noreply@blogger.com0

As announced on Twitter yesterday, my paper titled "Professional Software Development Using Oracle Application Express" has been put online. I'm copying the first two paragraphs of the summary here, so you can decide if you want to read the rest as well: Software development involves much more than just producing lines of code. It is also about version control, deployment to other environments, Rob van Wijkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00499478359372903250noreply@blogger.com3

Yesterday I encountered a code snippet which taught me something I did not think was possible. But it is, as I'll show in this blogpost. It's not spectacular in any way, just convenient at most. When you need a function or procedure to retrieve some value, you'll start examining the existing code base if a function already exists that does the job. Probably you won't find an exact match, but Rob van Wijkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00499478359372903250noreply@blogger.com2
