If You're In Latvia, Estonia, Romania, Slovenia or Croatia, Oracle APEX is Coming to You!

In the first part of October, my colleague Vlad Uvarov and I are taking the Oracle APEX & Oracle Database Cloud message to a number of user groups who are graciously hosting us.  These are countries for which there is growing interest in Oracle Application Express, and we wish to help support these groups and aid in fostering their growing APEX communities.

The dates and locations are:

1. Latvian Oracle User Group, October 5, 2015
2. Oracle User Group Estonia, Oracle Innovation Day in Tallinn, October 7, 2015
3. Romanian Oracle User Group, October 8, 2015
4. Oracle Romania (for Oracle employees, at the Floreasca Park office), October 8-9, 2015
5. Slovenian Oracle User Group, SIOUG 2015, October 12-13, 2015
6. Croatian Oracle User Group, 20th HrOUG Conference, October 13-16, 2015

You should consider attending one of these user group meetings/conferences if:

• You're a CIO or manager, and you wish to understand what Oracle Application Express is and if it can help you and your business.
• You're a PL/SQL developer, and you want to learn how easy or difficult it is to exploit your skills on the Web and in the Cloud.
• You come from a client/server background and you want to understand what you can do with your skills but in Web development and Cloud development.
• You're an Oracle DBA, and you want to understand if you can use Oracle Application Express in your daily responsibilities.
• You know nothing about Oracle Application Express and you want to learn a bit more.

The User Group meetings in Latvia, Estonia and Romania all include 2-hour instructor-led hands on labs.  All you need to bring is a laptop, and we'll supply the rest.  But you won't be merely watching an instructor drive their mouse.  You will be the ones building something real.  I guarantee that people completely new to APEX, as well as seasoned APEX developers, will learn a number of relevant skills and techniques in these labs.

If you have any interest or questions or concerns (or complaints!) about Oracle Application Express, and you are nearby, we would be very honored to meet you in person and assist in any way we can.  We hope you can make it!
