(openPR) - Packt is proud to announce Oracle APEX 4.0 Cookbook, a new book that contains over 80 great recipes to develop and deploy fast, secure and modern web applications with Oracle Application Express 4.0. Written by Michel Van Zoest and Marcel van der Plas, this book will assist readers to integrate third-party applications like Google Maps into APEX by using web services and enhance their APEX applications by using stylesheets, Plug-ins, AJAX, JavaScript and jQuery.

Oracle Application Express is a rapid web application development tool for the Oracle database, which allows a fast development cycle to be achieved to create web based applications. APEX can be used for departmental-style applications with a dozen users and helps developers to build applications with the latest techniques in AJAX and JavaScript by means of features like Plug-ins and Dynamic Actions.

Oracle APEX 4.0 Cookbook will teach users to create simple form and report pages, and to enhance the look of their applications by using stylesheets. Furthermore, users will learn to integrate Tag Clouds, Google Maps and web services in their applications and use Plug-ins, Dynamic Actions, BI Publisher, translations and Websheets to develop these applications to a new level in APEX.

Using this book, programmers will be able to make the development process easier by using debugging, learn about the APEX Dictionary, Translations, Websheets and the new Application Builder, deploy APEX applications using the APEX Listener and Apache, and use Team Development to make APEX projects lean and agile.

With over 80 carefully organized recipes and hands-on examples, this book is ideal for novice and intermediate developers, who wish to start development or find ways to work more efficiently with APEX. The book is out now and available from Packt. To read more about it, please visit: www.packtpub.com/oracle-apex-4-0-cookbook/book
