Session 1 (8:30am-9:30am) 5 Ways of building Oracle Applications - Sten Vesterli
Chris:
Sten gave this presentation back in 1998, and there were 5, with Forms being the only common technology.

1) Forms - Data driven UI, Chrome already will not accept browser plugins, although Forms has a solution to launch java without a browser, so Forms is running via the web without a browser.  Sounds like client/server....
2) APEX - Data driven UI, Oracle has over 70,000 APEX applications.
3) ADF - MVC process driven UI.
4) JET - UI only, a toolkit, not a framework, needs LOTS of javascript code.
5) MAF - "Mobile first is stupid, Mobile only is worse!".  Only if the interaction is less than 2 minutes does anyone want it to be "Mobile".

Session 2 (10:15am-11:15am) ORDS tips and tricks - Kris Rice
Chris:
Example of the Oracle Chicago cloud data center: 5 HTTPD servers over 2 Weblogic servers running ORDS which connect to 100s of DBs.
Size your connection pools according to your concurrent users.

Session 3 (11:30-12:30) APEX 5 plugins - Alan Arentson
Chris:
An APEX plugin is a collection of HTML, CSS, JS, and PLSQL.
Plugins are WAY easier in APEX 5.
Chris will be creating a Topaz signature pad plugin.
