Expert Oracle Application Express Plugins is your "go to" book on the
groundbreaking plugin architecture introduced in Oracle Application
Express 4.0. Using the new APEX functionality, you can create
well-packaged, documented, reusable components and reliably leverage
your coding investments across many applications. Components you create
can define new item and region types, specify validation processes, and
present dynamic actions to client applications. You can design
innovative and colorful ways to display information, such as displaying
the temperature using an image of a thermometer, or displaying sales
velocity in the form of an automotive speedometer. The new plugin
architecture is sure to create a tidal wave of creativity.
Author Martin D'Souza shows everything you need to know to get
started in building and deploying plugins of your own design. You'll
learn the underlying architecture, including the APIs used to tie your
plugins seamlessly into an Application Express environment. You'll learn
about the different types of plugins, and you'll walk through examples
of each to ensure that you can create the right type of plugin when you
need it. Finally, Expert Oracle Application Express Plugins shows how
to work as part of the larger Application Express community by
leveraging that community's efforts and by giving back as you deploy
your own plugins to the broad audience of Application Express
developers.
