Overview of this book

Organizations are moving their applications, data, and processes to the cloud to reduce application costs, effort, and maintenance. However, adopting new technology poses challenges for developers, solutions architects, and designers due to a lack of knowledge and appropriate practical training resources.

This book will provide you with a solid understanding of VB so that you can adopt it at a faster pace and start building applications right away. After working with real-time examples to learn about VB, you'll discover how to design, develop, and deploy web and mobile applications quickly. You'll cover all the VB components in-depth, including web and mobile application development, business objects, and service connections. In order to use all these components, you'll also explore best practices, security, and recommendations, which are well explained within the chapters. Finally, this book will help you gain the knowledge you need to enhance the performance of an application before deploying it to production. By the end of this book, you will be able to work independently and deploy your VB applications efficiently and with confidence.

Deriving the cost of using VB

Cost plays a vital role whenever you buy any product and it helps you to make the correct decision. Cost is an important aspect to evaluate any product and helps to onboard the product in an organization. The correct decision to onboard a new product can help an organization to save huge costs. The cost derivation of any product should be easy and clear.

The Oracle Cloud pricing model is based on the unit cost structure. There are two pricing models that Oracle offers:

  • Simple unit pricing: This model allows you to quickly provision a service and only pay for what you use. You have an option to switch off the service when not in use to save costs.
  • Bring Your Own License (BYOL): This model allows existing on-premise customers to use their existing on-premise licenses.

The cost of VB can be derived using the Oracle Cost Estimator tool, which is easy to access and understand. This tool is accessible at https://www.oracle.com/cloud/cost...
