Summary


With every new version of APEX, new features and capabilities are being added to the tool and it's constantly evolving. It's almost impossible to describe all the possibilities of APEX in this chapter, but with the information in this chapter you will be able to kick start and structure your development.

In this chapter, we got an overview of the installation and preparation tasks before actually building the application. We discussed User Interface Defaults and the application structure. We saw techniques to transform the data model into initial screen designs. We also discussed a lot of best practices and guidelines during the building phase.

In the next chapter, we will be using some advanced database features to enhance our application.
