Web Development Tips for PL/SQL Programmers

How Does a PL/SQL Programmer Get Started with Web Development?

Learn FireFox’s Firebug or Chrome’s developer tool, HTML, CSS, DOM, AJAX, and JavaScript

Are you an expert server side software developer who needs to migrate to a browser based environment like Oracle Application Express (APEX)? Then this free tutorial is for you; it will help you to “break the back” on the somewhat steep learning curve that is required when you start learning how to effectively use client side browser tools like FireFox’s Firebug and Chrome’s developer tool. APEX expert and author Patrick Cimolini leads you, step by step, from a simple “hello world” web page to some real-world APEX pages; showing you along the way how to use the browser tools to inspect, test, and debug your HTML, CSS, DOM, AJAX, and JavaScript code.

The tutorial introduces the audience to the important browser development tools that are required in order to take advantage of the web’s browser based environment. Students are shown how to analyse and debug a web page by using the development tools that are built into the FireFox and Chrome browsers. The webinar starts with a simple “hello world” web page and then progresses, step by step, into real-world APEX pages where HTML, CSS, DOM, AJAX, and Javascript must be inspected, tested, and debugged. We’ll de-mystify the web tools and help you achieve a level of comfort and confidence when working with the client side web tools.
