Douwe Pieter van den Bos started working as an Oracle Developer using Oracle Designer and Oracle Forms. Soon he discovered the wondrous world of Oracle Application Express and was one of the first people in the Netherlands to be using this tool in real live applications. His first encounters with the development of APEX applications and, later on, his thoughts on web development and project management were written down on his own personal website, http://ome-b.nl. This web site became the only Dutch APEX related website and a knowledge base on everything APEX.
Because of his fast experience on Oracle Database development and Oracle Forms, and his 'love' for Oracle Application Express, Douwe Pieter experimented a lot with Oracle Forms to APEX conversion over the last few years, resulting in knowledge about the different challenges this brings. During the Beta tests of APEX 3.2 Douwe Pieter was involved, and he personally ensured that certain requirements weren't overlooked.
Douwe Pieter is a frequent speaker at national and international conferences and has written numerous articles on application development, including APEX-specific application development.
