Pro jQuery in Oracle Application Express


Building functional Oracle Application Express (APEX) application is relatively easy. APEX provides many features out-of-the-box that help developers build good applications. APEX also provides footholds that allow the developer to extend the product with third-party code, producing more polished applications that users feel confident using. A stand-out example of this extensibility are plug-ins, introduced in APEX 4.0. Another marquee feature introduced in APEX 4.0 is Dynamic Actions. APEX developers whose main skill is typically PL/SQL are now able to declaratively provide more interactive interfaces. The trouble with Dynamic Actions is that making the most effective use of them requires a deeper understanding of jQuery—the underlying infrastructure that made them tick. The biggest hurdle with jQuery for PL/SQL developers is the fundamental differences with syntax and semantics. I’ve met many developers who quickly embraced Dynamic Actions because they saved them from having to learn too much JavaScript, but they only moved into second gear. After undergoing the same journey myself, I found what I understood to be the secret for Oracle Developers to learning jQuery—building an analogy between CSS and SQL and thus treating the web page like a database.
