Apex 4.0 Early Adopter – first shot

All I can say is Wow!

That’s it.  Nothing more here…

Moving back and forth

I stopped maintaining this blog because I’d moved it to the ning.com Oracle Community, but that software lacks so many good features that I’m probably moving back.

I’m also trying out free note-taking database software, EverNote, to keep track of all the Oracle Apex tips and tricks I’m learning. It has a web interface as well and says it has a widget I can use to share here, but can’t seem to connect to WordPress. So far… sigh…

That Apex notebook is here: http://www.evernote.com/pub/sstryker58/Stews_Apex_tips/

I’m probably moving back here shortly. I’m so decisive! :-/

I’m back!

Yeah it’s been a while.

I’m learning about Oracle’s web application builder, Application Express (aka Apex).  I thought this would be a good place for me to store what I’ve learned as I go.  So the posts are mostly for me, but if someone gets something out of them, all the better.

Ultra Running Camp of New England

Not exactly a software tool, but…

My friend Mike Silverman has started a new venture that combines two of his interests – ultra races and organizing people – into The Ultra Running Camp of New England.  This (ad)venture is a camp for ultra-runners who want to get stronger, faster and smarter about ultra-running.  Mike’s been involved with the Vermont 100 and the Vermont 50 endurance runs for many years, as well as being an avid mountain biker himself.  He’s gotten together with some top people in the field of ultra-running to put on this great camp over a long weekend in June, just in time for race season.
