Marcel van der Plas has been an Oracle Consultant for over 15 years. And from the beginning, he learned to work with Oracle Forms, Oracle Reports, and Oracle Designer. Marcel has worked on many projects with these tools. Later on, he became interested in APEX and did some projects with APEX.
Marcel currently works for Ciber. Other companies he worked for are Atos Origin and Whitehorses. For Whitehorses, he wrote some articles ("Whitebooks") about Oracle.
I would like to thank Michel van Zoest, my co-author for helping and working together. I also want to thank the reviewers Maarten van Luijtelaar, Dimitri Gielis, and Surachart Opun. Their comments were so valuable and helpful. I would like to thank Douwe Pieter van den Bos for introducing us to Packt and I would like to thank Packt for giving me this opportunity to write this book. I would like to thank my employer, Ciber, for giving me the freedom to write this book. Last but not least, I would like to thank my wife Yvonne and my children Vera, Laura, and Joey for inspiring and supporting me. At the same time, I would like to apologize to them for not having time to play on the weekends during the months that I wrote this book.
Michel van Zoest is a consultant with more than 10 years of experience in building (web) applications using Oracle technology such as Oracle (web) Forms, Oracle Designer, MOD_PLSQL, ADF, SOA Suite and of course, APEX.
He is one of the first Oracle Application Express Developer Certified Experts in the world.
He has used his APEX knowledge in projects for companies ranging in size from a single employee to large multinationals. His experience in these projects has been used in the realization of this book.
Michel currently works at Whitehorses in the Netherlands and runs his own blog at http://www.aboutapex.com. Next to that, he blogs at the company website on http://blog.whitehorses.nl and he regularly writes Whitebook articles (in Dutch) for Whitehorses.
First of all, I would like to thank my co-author Marcel van der Plas. Thanks to the easy way that we could work together, the writing of this book has gone as smooth as possible. I would like to thank the people at Packt Publishing for offering me the chance to write this book. It has been a long process with a lot of hard work, but I'm very happy with the result. I also would like to thank Douwe Pieter van den Bos for introducing me and Marcel to Packt and his invaluable help in the early stages of the book. Furthermore, I would like to thank Maarten van Luijtelaar, Dimitri Gielis, and Surachart Opun for their hard work in reviewing our drafts. This book has become so much better thanks to you guys. I also would like to thank my employer Whitehorses for the support I have been given. And last but not least, I would like to thank my family for their love and support. Without the help of my wife Jamila and the "dikke kroelen" from my daughters Naomi and Aniek, this result would not have been possible.
