My "Must See" ADF/MAF Sessions at KScope 16

Yes, you read that right - it's not a typo, nor did one of my kids or wife gain access to my laptop.  It's part of a "blog hop" - where a number of experts made recommendations about KScope sessions that are "must attend" and are not in their core technology.  I picked ADF/MAF, as I don't have any practical experience in either technology, but they are at least similar enough that I would not be totally lost.

In any case, the following sessions in the ADF/MAF track are worth checking out at Kscope 16 this year:

How to Use Oracle ALTA UI to Create a Smashing UI for Web and Mobile
Luc Bors, eProseed NL
When: Jun 28, 2016, Session 12, 4:45 pm - 5:45 pm

I've always liked UI, and Oracle ALTA is a new set of templates that we'll be seeing quite a bit of across a number of new technologies.

Three's Company: Going Mobile with Oracle APEX, Oracle MAF, and Oracle MCS
Frederic Desbiens , Oracle Corporation
When: Jun 27, 2016, Session 6, 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm

I'll admit - anytime there's a comparison of APEX and other similar technologies, it's always interesting to witness the discussion.  If nothing else, there will be a good healthy debate as a result of this session!

Introduction to Oracle JET: JavaScript Extension Toolkit
Shay Shmeltzer, Oracle Corporation
When: Jun 28, 2016, Session 7, 8:30 am - 9:30 am

Oracle JET is a lot more than just charts, and there's a lot of momentum behind this technology.  I'm very interested to learn more and perhaps even see a thing or two that you can do with it, as well as the various integration points that are possible with other technologies.

Build a Mobile App in 60 Minutes with MAF
John King , King Training Resources
When: Jun 27, 2016, Session 5, 3:15 pm - 4:15 pm

Native mobile applications are something that APEX doesn't do, so it would be nice to see how this would be possible, should the need ever arise.

Thanks for attending this ODTUG blog hop! Looking for some other juicy cross-track sessions to make your Kscope16 experience more educational? Check out the following session recommendations from fellow experts!

Welcome to our world! I think you've made some good choices that won't overwhelm the newbie. I ought to return the favor and go to a few of Cameron's "not to be missed" APEX sessions.

Custom Export to CSV

It's been a while since I've updated my blog. I've been quite busy lately, and just have not had the time that I used to. We're expecting our 1st child in just a few short weeks now, so most of my free time has been spent learning Lamaze breathing, making the weekly run to Babies R Us, and relocating my office from the larger room upstairs to the smaller one downstairs - which I do happen to like MUCH more than I had anticipated. I have everything I need within a short walk - a bathroom, beer fridge, and 52" HD TV. I only need to go upstairs to eat and sleep now, but alas, this will all change soon... Recently, I was asked if you could change the way Export to CSV in ApEx works. The short answer is, of course, no. But it's not too difficult to "roll your own" CSV export procedure. Why would you want to do this? Well, the customer's requirement was to manipulate some data when the Export link was clicked, and then export it to CSV in a forma...

Manipulating Images with the... Database?

A recent thread on the OTN HTML DB Forum asked about how to determine the width & height of an image stored as a BLOB in an Oracle table. I mentioned in that thread that I have some code to manipulate an image stored in a BLOB column. This is particularly useful if you’re going to let users upload images, and you want to re-size them to display as a thumbnail. Thanks to Oracle interMedia , it is trivial to manipulate the width, height, and other attributes of images stored in an Oracle table. I’ve created a sample application here which demonstrates Oracle interMedia and HTML DB in action. Feel free to have a look. You can download this application from HTML DB Studio as well. Basically, this application allows you to upload images and perform an operation on the image as it is inserted into the PHOTO_CATALOG table. There are two places where some PL/SQL code is required: an After Submit process on page 2, and a procedure to display the images. Here is the PL/SQL for the After...

Page 0 Branches

What? There's no way to put a Branch on Page 0 of an ApEx application! Or is there... Technically, no - page 0 does not support branches. But how many times do you wish it did? This scenario recently came up: I wanted to put a "Search" box on every page in my application, so no matter where a user is, they can search the site. Currently, it has 10 or so pages, but this will grow to closer to 50 by production. So, thought #1 was to put an text item on Page 0, call it search, and then ensure that each and every page had some sort of Branch to run the search. Not so fun, as this was a tedious task, even for just 10 pages. And each time a new page was added to the application - by myself or anyone else - the search branch would have to be added to the page. Clearly not a scalable solution. With a little bit of help from Raj from the ApEx team, I came up with this solution: Create Page 0, if you haven't already On page 0, create an item of type "Text Field (...
