APEXBlogs v2 - iPad compatible, even charts!

Written 15 years ago. Oracle APEX has moved on a lot since; check the current Oracle APEX posts too.

It’s very exciting to announce the new APEXBlogs site is now iPad compatible!

I find it so cool! Now you can look at the latest news on APEX everywhere.

Following enhancements where made to make the site iPad compatible:

  • If you navigate to apexblogs.info and you tab the + to add it to your Home Screen on the iPad, it gets a proper icon.

  • APEXBlogs is optimised to run in Landscape mode (iPad rotated left or right), if it’s not then a popup message will appear to tell you, it looks even better if you turn the screen.

  • The other exciting enhancement is that you will see also charts now! As the iPad doesn’t support to run Flash, we included NFCharts (site no longer online), the Non-Flash Charts APEX Plugin created by APEX Evangelists (site no longer online). If you are on your PC you still see the Flash Charts as there is only a redirect when there is an iPad/iPhone/iPod found. If you want to see the non-Flash charts also on your pc, go here. Look pretty similar no? I love our plugin and it will become available for sale very soon. Keep an eye on John Scott’s blog as well as he will do more posts about NFCharts in the coming days too.

To get the site working nicely with the iPad, this website gave me good tips.

Hopefully some people can give it a try on their iPad. I know quiet a lot of people in the APEX community have one, so look forward what you think of it.
