b The nicest APEX app / feature /b

Hello,
At ODTUG I'm doing the APEX vs ADF Shoot-out, together with Lucas Jellema.
The last presentation Lucas and I did last year in the Netherlands. We decided to change some things in the presentation. One of them is to include "the nicest app or features in both environments".
So, I thought to ask the community what they think I should show.
Currently the list I thought to chose of:
* Out of the box in APEX: from raw Data to Application and Interactive Reports
* "Web 2.0" extensions in APEX: for ex. ExtJS and Dhtmlx
* Integration with Webservices, Fusion and SOA
* Extending E-business suite with APEX
(although I don't have the Oracle Applications Suite running on my laptop, so it will be hard to show)
* Integration with SQL Developer
I've about 15 mins to show the coolest, nicest features or application around, build in APEX. So it's not necessary to show things in dept or explain how to do them.
What features do YOU think make APEX incredible? Feel free to send me some screenshots or even nicer real demo sites or an application export I can show.
I know a lot of the applications we build are "internal" only, but if you could make a subset of it to just show the cool feature, that's already fine. If you just want to share what you think would be cool to show, just add a comment ... there might be a chance I already did some testing with it.

Let's show the ADF guys something ;-)

Hi Peter,
I have a very nice anecdote about 1. APEX for Dummies!
In DG Tournament there was a problem, people couldn't login... but I didn't have an internet connection at that time and as people had to bet on the games it had to be fixed asap.
So I called my brother (as he was one of the only persons I could reach) and asked him to follow my instructions. In 5 minutes it was fixed! He's a teacher in sports, so NOT technical at all. He could do everything with his browser, no need to redeploy or have tools on his pc. I should blog about it, but then I'm not sure if the ADF guys read it, they will shoot at that ;-)
I don't want to stress 1 too much, as APEX is/was seen like that before and the marketing is also done like that by certain people, but as you also say in 2. APEX is very powerful. I see it as a fit for a lot of people; from business people who have not many technical skills to the guru developers.
Regards,
Dimitri

  • Is there a web version of the list of apps featured in the iTunes App Store?

    I like seeing the apps that Apple features in their App Store, like their Collections, or Best of 2013, or their category lists (like "Get in Shape" for the Health category). However, I think the store is a little clunky and I just want to quickly browse latest apps.Is there a web-based version of these lists or are they listed on Apple's website anywhere?

    The only Apple sites that I know of are less useful than using iTunes itself (or Mac App Store if you are referring to Mac Apps), they only list apps alphabetically or by popularity :
    iTunes : https://itunes.apple.com/us/genre/ios/id36?mt=8
    Mac App Store https://itunes.apple.com/us/genre/mac/id39?mt=1

  • Cannot print a PDF using the Oracle APEX print feature

    Hi,
    I work from a Wondows 7 workstation.
    I have Adobe FlashPlayer 11 installaed on that workstation.
    I can open a regular *.pdf file.
    I have the following configuration for my Oracle APEX application:
    Report Printing:
    Print Server Protocol: Advanced (requires Oracle BI Publisher)
    Print Server Protocol: HTTP
    Print Server Host Address: the IP address of my BI Publisher server
    Print Server Port: 9704 (from installation of BI)
    Print Server Script: /xmlpserver/convert
    On the page (that is an interactive report) that I want to print, it is configured with:
    Download:
    PDF option is checked.
    When I click on Action -> Download -> PDF for this page, I get the error:
    report_customers_region.pdf  file can not be opened because the file type is not supported or because it is damaged (because, for example as an e-mail attachment is not sent and correctly decoded)
    Does someone has an idea what the problem is and where I should investigate further?
    Thanks and Kind Regards.

    Well, is the PDF actualyl allowing to be printed? Check File --> Properties in Reader/ Acrobat.

  • Office web apps feature not working after setup and configuration?

    Hi I have installed the SP1 update and since then my office web apps features are not coming up in SharePoint. After running the updates and attaching the farm back i see the bindings and settings are applied but somehow the office web apps features are
    not coming up in SharePoint. Can someone let me know what might be the issue?

    Did you delete and recreate the WAC farm after you updated?

  • How to hide "View in Browser" and "Edit in Browser" from ECB injected by Office Web Apps Feature

    Hi,
    i am currently using custom_AddDocLibMenuItems to implement a custom ECB menu for my document library. I need to activate Office Web Apps. My custom_AddDocLibMenuItems has two items
    -> custom dialog
    -> open in office web apps
    After activating the Office Web Apps Feature at the SiteCollection Level, this Feature "injects" in my custom menu the following
    additional menu items:
    -> View in Browser
    -> Edit in Browser
    Its curious to see that, cause implementing the js function custom_AddDocLibMenuItems with
    return true should be the way to impolement a custom ECB menu without having other features/solutions injecting things in this menu!? Or did i misunderstood something here?
    My question is: How can i prevent this ...
    a) without deactivating the Office Web Apps Feature
    b) without modifying the core.js
    I hope someone can help!
    Best Regards

  • Online Store 1.0  - which process set the value of App Item 'FULLNAME'

    Hi,
    I just very curious about which process set the value of App Item 'FULLNAME' ini the packaged Apex App - Online Store 1.0 .
    At Navigation Bar, there is a entry named "If you are not &FULLNAME., Click here |". However I can't find how the app set this application item value in any process when login.
    any idea, I will be very appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

  • How do I turn off the feature that allows the duplication of App downloads to more than one phone? As in my wife downloads an app and I get a dulpicate download on my phone.

    How do I turn off the feature that allows the duplication of App downloads to more than one phone? As in my wife downloads an app and I get a dulpicate download on my phone.

    To disable that feature it will depend on whether or not you sync everything in the cloud using Apple's iCloud, OR if you both use the same desktop/laptop computer with iTunes. Here is a link to the Apple support page in regards to the automatic download feature included with your iPhone and corresponding softwares such as iTunes.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4539
    Follow those instructions and it will all be taken care of.

    Lost my iphone and located it on the map, using the find a phone app. The second I had the location the phone went offline. Apparently, whoever has it knows how to disable the find a phone feature. Do I have any alternatives? Can AT&T or the police track the phone?

    ATT won't unless they are asked to do so by the police and unless a major crime is involved, the police won't request this just for a stolen phone.
    If the iPhone is running iOS 6, sounds like you didn't have the passcode lock feature enabled. Nothing prevents someone from powering the iPhone off and the same for removing the SIM card.

    Why can't I add a location to a photo in the new Photos app?  Apple appears to have taken away a feature without asking. 

    I have an iPhone and occasionally use it for photos, but my main camera is NOT an iPhone.  To be forced to go outside Apple for a product when Apple had perfectly good products available is ludicrous.  But it is what it is, apparently.

  • HT1947 "Up next" feature makes a mess out of controlling what the heck is played using the iOS remote app.

    Tell me if I am wrong, but it seems to me that the "Up next" feature makes a mess out of controlling what the heck is played through the Apple TV using the iOS remote app.  The whole thing seem uber-anti-intuitive.  I am a long time user (as much and anyone is long time for any of this stuff) of the iOS remote app, and ATV to play music though a stereo system.  Up to a couple of weeks ago, I could sit in my chair, start the iPhone remote app, pick a playlist and either start from the beginning, or if the first track didn't grab me at that moment, go ahead and switch to, say, track 6 -- the whole playlist would "sit there" and be available for further browsing.  With the new system, if I hit a playlist the songs will go into "Up Next".  If as I described in the last sentence, the first song is not getting it for me, and I switch to track 6 , the "Up Next" list is lopped off and only tracks 7 onward will be shown.  I can't go back and browse the first 5 tracks (6 actually) -- they're vaporized.  The idea of browsing your own music has been killed; I guess this "Up Next" concept is for folks who like maybe a couple of dozen songs that are picked from different places and want to play them in different orders of something -- it just seems like a crummy idea.  If under the scenario I described I want to go back and play that first (or second through fifth) song on the original playlist, I have to go out and fish it out of the library somehow and just keep messing around and around.  There have been times when I didn't know what the heck was going to come out of the speakers.  It seems like the remote user has not been considered in the "dramatically improved" iTunes 11", with the "cleaner user interface" .  To me it is "dramatically akin to dog-doo", which, of course is not cleaner than much of anything.  If I can't get this working decently, then I'm really thinking of investigating some other type of system like DLNA.  Any suggestions?

    Same problem here.  I have so many problems with this remote app.  Is there an iTunes API? I would like to write my own remote app that actually works.

  • How can I change the apps/features shown on my desktop cradle screen?

    I have the desktop cradle, which  brings upa  special horizontal display that shows the time...and along the bottom shows 4-5 apps like Alarm, Daily Briefing, Voice Speech (or something), Music, etc.
    I'd like to change the apps/features shown there. The settings for desktop view are limited to date and time and something else not related to those icons/apps.
    Does anyone know if/how I can change those to the ones I want?
    Thanks in advance.

    Apparently, that third-party provider (for the desktop cradle app) has plans to make it more customizable, but you cant do it yet
    OTOH, there is supposedly another app that allows you to do it, 'Lo Cal.' But it costs $10.

  • The "Resume"/"Restore Windows When Quitting and Re-opening Apps" feature issues

    The "Resume"/"Restore Windows When Quitting and Re-opening Apps" features have issues with restoring windows of various applications (Safari, Preview etc.) to the corresponding Desktops on which they were before system reboot/shutdown or app restart. E.g. Preview windows appear on random Desktops after the system reboot and on the sane (N1) Desktop after Preview restart. How to fix this?

    Create a new User go to System Preferences > Users & Groups > "+" (make it an admin acct) and test the feature in this new account, if it works the problem is isolated to your User and not systemwide. If it's in your user only, it's probably a Login Item or pref file.
    If it's systemwide, since this feature may not have been tested on multiple Desktops
    file feedback here.

  • Has Apple made any attempt to fix the 'no deleting apps on iCloud' yet? Would like this feature instead of going to Apple or having write them to get done.

    Has Apple made any attempt to fix the 'no deleting apps on iCloud' yet? Would like this feature instead of going to Apple or having to write them to get this feature. What's the point of having an iPad if you can't manage it. You get an app you thought you'd like, but don't & now it's taking up space for another app that could be useful, if not better.

    Items showing as in the cloud on app store, do not take up any spce on either your ipad or on your icloud, it is stored in the app store cloud.
    The main reason to not delete is it is the history of what you have purchased, you can hide it from view if you would like.
