Oracle Application Express (APEX) 4.2 production

A few hours ago Oracle made APEX 4.2 available for download.

If it’s the first time you look at 4.2, you can read about the many new features. With every release I have to say the same thing… it’s the best release ever :-)

Obviously mobile is a big topic in 4.2, but for me personally I like the integration of HTML5 and CSS3 the most. At OOW, OTN asked me about APEX 4.2 and what I liked… there are so many, but the support for Responsive web design is the “key feature” for me to create future applications in a declarative way. That interview was even done before Shakeeb’s excellent presentation about Responsive Web Design and his nice video.

Next to release, the APEX Development team updated apex.oracle.com with a fresh new look and feel! It looks very similar to the Oracle Cloud now. I like it very much.

So go and download 4.2 and start playing with it in your own environment today!
