Oracle Application Express 5.0 now available

The result of a two and half year engineering effort, Oracle Application Express 5.0 represents the greatest advancement of Oracle Application Express in its 10-year history.  Oracle Application Express 5.0 enables customers to develop, design and deploy beautiful, responsive, database-driven desktop and mobile applications using only a browser.  



Now that APEX 5.0 is finally available, it’s time to spread the word and to get everyone up to speed on what’s new in 5.0, how to make best use of the beautiful, new Universal Theme and how to get the most out of the incredibly powerful new Page Designer. 


So here are some of the events coming up in the near future, where you can learn all about APEX 5.0 and meet many of the APEX development team members in person:
