Extending Oracle Application Express with Oracle Cloud Features (eBook)

This book shows Oracle Application Express (APEX) developers how to take advantage of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) features for APEX that might otherwise go missed. You will learn how to use OCI features for data science tasks such as detecting anomalies in your data, training machine learning models, and much more. The book provides an in-depth look at Oracle Cloud features and demonstrates how they can be easily integrated into an APEX application. While the book focuses on developing for APEX, the approaches covered in the book are also applicable to any other modern web developer framework for applications running on the OCI platform.APEX developers who are looking to extend their application's capabilities using features and resources available through the Oracle Cloud, and cloud solutions architects who support development teams and help design and implement architectures that benefit business operations
