Hi there, I am an expert Oracle APEX developer and have been using APEX for more than 12 years. Through my development career, I have developed well over 200 APEX applications including the database build. Many of these projects have been enterprise scale systems with hundred of concurrent users. Many developers will claim to know APEX. The problem, however, is APEX is rather easy to learn, but it's also easy to make a mess and to go about things the wrong way. You want a secure, scaleable, and most of all, supportable application. In my most recent work, I managed a team of junior developers, taught them APEX and guided them through the correct development process. For me, there are some fundemental issues to be addressed in any APEX project: - The application logic ought to reside in the database and not in the application - The application must enforce a solid user security model - All pages should have sub-second rendering - The application should make use of pre-established standards - APEX_DEBUG should be used to properly instrument all pl/sql code - Unless business logic demands it, declarative components should always be used for performance - Large applications are best divided into scalable modules - A proper development lifecycle should be employed - Reusability should never be sacrificed for business logic Please do let me know if you have any questions. Also, even if you do not contract me, I would be happy to offer any guidance for your work. Thanks for your kind consideration.

If you're looking for exciting, original articles written in good, easy-to-read English or proof-reading that's accurate and conforms to a high standard, I'm the writer for you. Whether you're covering serious topics, exhilarating fiction or the more humorous side of life, I want to write about it. Engaging your readers, on a wide range of subjects, is my top priority. I have a BA in Dramatic Art (majored in English Literature) from the University of Cape Town and a BSc (Hons) in Psychology from the University of South Africa. I have 30+ years' experience in family and relationship counseling as well as Life Skills training for children and adolescents. During this time, I've written numerous articles and short stories (fiction) for both print and digital media and my non-fiction book has been published by Penguin Random House. I am familiar with the use of both U.S. and Oxford English writing styles, spelling and grammar and have been published on both sides of the Atlantic. Although my work has focused primarily on assisting people to improve their interpersonal relationships, research is fun for me and I enjoy discovering and writing about new trends, ideas and perspectives. Reading, I believe, should never be dull or boring. Even the most mundane information can be written in way that holds the reader's attention and captivates the imagination. You will always have my best effort, on time, every time. Let's work together.
