Oracle Application Express (APEX) is a low-code development platform that lets you build scalable, secure enterprise applications with world-class features that can be deployed anywhere.
Using APEX, developers can quickly develop and deploy engaging applications that solve real problems and provide immediate value. You won't need to be an expert in a wide range of technologies to deliver sophisticated solutions. Focus on solving the problem and let APEX handle the rest.
Oracle APEX was designed from the beginning to help developers create modern, beautiful, responsive applications without having to become specialized experts.
Oracle APEX's mission is to enable developers to easily create engaging applications with superior functionality, performance, and end-user experience. Oracle APEX aims to eliminate the enormous complexities of developing and deploying enterprise applications to accomplish this task. Here are a few reasons why choosing Oracle APEX for your next development project makes sense:
Eliminating Complexity
Oracle APEX eliminates the complexity of developing and deploying applications at all layers. The result is a low-code platform that is simpler, faster, lighter and less costly than alternatives. Oracle APEX is unique in that it eliminates complexity at all layers.
Simple Development
Oracle APEX is easy to use and learn. App Builder provides a rich, browser-based, intuitive interface that guides you as you build your apps. Oracle APEX's powerful components allow you to add high-level functionality to your applications with limited coding. Many customers become productive in a week or less!
Powerful and Proven
Oracle APEX can be used to build a wide variety of applications for every industry, from the simplest application that “webifies” a spreadsheet to mission-critical applications used daily by tens of thousands of users. Oracle APEX's elegant architecture has been used to power thousands of applications worldwide for years.
Trustworthy
Oracle APEX is designed to build web applications that are highly secure out of the box. In a world of ever-changing web standards, evolving security standards, and resourceful hackers, focusing on security means your applications remain protected and state-of-the-art.
Although APEX has been around in one form or another since 2004, it has recently been included in the new category of application development platforms called Low Code. These Low-Code environments can trace their origins to 4GL programming languages and rapid application development (RAD) tools. This progression makes sense, as APEX was initially marketed as a RAD tool. APEX enables web applications to be easily created without requiring code. Where requirements are more complex, APEX allows Low Code objects to be extended via a declarative framework. This framework allows the developer to define custom logic and business rules and create an advanced user interface. The developer does this with SQL , PL/SQL, HTML , JavaScript or CSS and APEX plugins. Therefore, APEX allows developers to move from no-code to low-code and more code.
For example; students, business users, architects, CIOs
With Oracle APEX, you can easily create web applications without knowledge of HTML, CSS, or JavaScript. Oracle APEX is tightly integrated with Oracle Database and manages all operations related to data processing in a database. If you have a basic understanding of SQL, you can create beautiful, responsive web applications very quickly. For data analysis, Oracle APEX is perfect as it supports the full SQL language, which is the industry standard for data processing and collection. If you are familiar with HTML, CSS, or JavaScript, you can also leverage your capabilities in Oracle APEX to create highly customized user interfaces.
Oracle APEX is taught at numerous universities and colleges around the world, and the demand for employees with Oracle APEX experience is at an all-time high and continues to grow. Plus, you can get started right away for free.
Oracle APEX includes powerful self-service reporting features. You can easily add custom filters, sort, aggregate, summarize and graph your data, and even create reports that are emailed to you regularly.
