Want to build powerful business apps with less hand-coding? Take the fast lane beyond quick prototypes with the Oracle APEX Gen AI Bootcamp. This free, hands-on event introduces the Oracle APEX approach to modern web app development through a series of in-person sessions, presented by APEX PM and DEV team members and Oracle ACEs. Built for experienced developers new to APEX, it will help you deliver production-ready, data-driven solutions faster, that you can trust! — all while using Generative AI to speed up development and incorporating AI capabilities into your apps.
Key concepts will include:
Building dynamic cloud, mobile and AI-powered apps for most any business purpose: Leverage the power of Oracle APEX and AI to create user-friendly apps that streamline business workflows and boost business productivity - all from within Oracle AI Database 26ai on Oracle’s AI Data Platform.
Hands-On experience during our Lunch & Learn session: We'll provide you with access to an APEX Workspace that includes an OCI Gen AI (LLM) service ready to go - bring your laptop! You will be able to continue to explore many Oracle APEX LiveLabs during and after the event, as you work to improve your valuable Oracle APEX skills.
Mastering essential APEX app dev concepts: Gain a solid foundation in the Oracle APEX approach to no-code and low-code development principles, even if you have no prior coding experience (these sessions will progress from introductory level throughout the day). You’ll also learn about many key APEX use-cases that go beyond simple spreadsheet replacements: SaaS or EBS Extension apps? Oracle Forms or legacy application modernization? Business process automation apps? Getting upskilled in using APEX will help you take the power of your data using Oracle Database to the next level!
Tips to become an APEX pro: Learn from Oracle APEX PM and DEV team members and get practical guidance to tackle real-world application development challenges. Become a member of the Oracle APEX developer community and continue your journey of learning and applying your knowledge to solving business problems with APEX on the Oracle AI Data Platform.
What's new and What's next in APEX: Throughout the day you'll learn about many of the latest APEX features that APEX has available (including AI support) that will take your productivity to the next level. Vibe coding is here to stay – and the APEX team will review the way Oracle APEX will take similar approaches to Application Development in our next APEX release, 26.1, planned to be available this calendar year (timing subject to change). Note that all roadmap discussion is subject to Oracle’s forward-looking statements / Safe Harbor.
Don't wait! Seats are limited to the first 80 people that register for this no-cost, immersive bootcamp. Register now and take the first step towards becoming an Oracle APEX Rock Star!
