15 User Interface vs User Experience

16 The Right Technology for the Right Person Java Developer JavaScript Developer PL/SQL Developer Business User Oracle ADF Oracle MAF Oracle JET Oracle APEX Oracle Forms Oracle ABCS Oracle MAX

17 In The Oracle Developers ToolBox APEX MAX

18 Oracle Alta UI Design system developers to create modern, visually pleasing, consistent, and engaging interfaces that can be easily distributed across all delivery channels

19 Oracle Application Express A rapid, wizard based, web application development tool for the Oracle database. Using only a web browser, develop and deploy DB centric PLSQL and Javascript based applications that are both fast and secure.

20 APEX - Application Express PLSQL developers can create wizard based HTML apps for browser or mobile based applications using only a browser. Must have DB connection

21 Benefits Very rapid development tool. Sweet spot: DB centric applications, Internal applications APEX is a great solution to consolidate spreadsheets, replace access, reporting for EBS Incredibly easy to generate a web app with for CRUD data entry, simple reporting APEX support forum has a ton of info and is well staffed by APEX devs. PLSQL is not the next generation WEB developers language of choice The Bad The application logic and UI are intertwined as one DB object The same arch we are trying to move away from All UI and data contained in the database not 3 tier Not very flexible for complex UI interfaces, dynamic web content and rich UI interaction Not most secure for external applications Not suited for offline capabilities Oracle vendor lock in. Free with DB license but Oracle only and who knows how long free will be free. PL/SQL is not and will never be the Next Big Thing in web development.

22 Oracle Application Developer Framework A complete development framework that simplifies development of Java based enterprise applications focusing on declarative and visual development approach

23 In a Nutshell Development framework that simplifies development of Java EE-based SOA applications Visual editors, Property editors, dialogs etc Provides end-to-end infrastructure solutions O/R Mapping /Persistence Controller, binding UI framework Security Abstract developers from technology complexities

24 Oracle Application Development Framework 29

25 Benefits Rapid development tool for Java 3 tier Arch based on standard J2EE best practices Sweet spot: DB centric applications, Internal or External applications Used to develop Fusion Apps so huge library of widgets and GUI components The Bad Oracle is pretty much only customer ;) Low adoption by market Complex to master - Many technologies to learn Java, JSF, Jdeveloper, CSS Oracle is moving away from it towards JavaScript Not as performant Small developer pool hard to find skill set

26 Oracle Application Builder Cloud Service Build and host web applications in a faster and simpler way with zero install and no-coding required visual development

27 Oracle ABCS Oracle Application Builder Cloud Service What it is A low-code development platform for business users to create applications Key features Visual and declarative Extensible in both backend and frontend Integration with other Oracle Services Both Web and device-resident Mobile app development Includes Mobile Application Accelerator (MAX) Providing both application creation and runtime

28 Benefits Very rapid development tool Low code tool Nice UI based on Alta UI design principles Currently limited for SAAS customizations Oracle is putting major weight behind this Could prove to be a rising star The Bad It s a fetus It s a cloud tool - some may not want cloud May not be ready yet for prime time Does not yet support REST Limited UI templates

29 Oracle Mobile Cloud Service Simplifies and secures the process of connecting your mobile applications to your enterprise systems and other cloud services. MCS is a powerful Mobile Backend as a Service (MBaaS)

30 Oracle Mobile Cloud Service Mobile 1 st meets API First Built for Mobile Microservices API s extensible with JavaScript (Node.JS) Built in Mobile APIs (Sync, Push, User Mgmt..) Development environment based on persona / role Enterprise grade security Client Development Tool Agnostic Usage & analytics for developers & business owners Integrated with Oracle s complete PaaS solution and applications

31 Mobile Cloud Service Key Differentiators Built ground up for Mobile First (Outside In) with a Service First (Inside-Out) approach Accelerates delivery of mobile applications Unified hub for all mobile access to enterprise IT assets & external data sources Back-end capabilities commonly required to support the on-device front ends of mobile apps Built in analytics to measure mobile strategy effectiveness Easy to maintain while mobile strategy evolves and matures Build mobile applications with zero coding in the browser 31

32 Mobile Analytics Usage Engagement Events Funnels Location API Calls

33 Oracle Mobile Application Framework A cross-platform, on-device mobile development framework leveraging focusing on declarative development using Java

34 Oracle Mobile Application Framework

35

36 In a Nutshell Develop in Java for ios and Android deployment Build once deploy to multiple platforms Develop in Jdeveloper or Eclipse Over 80+ UI components Offline capability with SQLite with encryption Full access to native device features What you see is what you get editor

37 Benefits Development is in Java is easy to find developers Great for offline capabilities Very flexible UI options Sweet spot: DB centric applications, Internal or External applications Hybrid on device applications The Bad Low adoption by market Complex to master - Many technologies to learn Java, JSF, Jdeveloper, CSS Oracle maybe moving towards JavaScript? Not as performant? Small developer pool hard to find skill set

38 Oracle JET A modular, enterprise-ready toolkit that simplifies development with a JavaScript/HTML5/REST stack

39 Oracle JET Oracle JavaScript Extension Toolkit What it is A toolkit for building enterprise applications using JavaScript/HTML5/CSS Key features Rich set of UI components Web or on-device UI Accessibility and internationalization built-in Two-way binding for MVVM Advanced router for single page applications Common model layer Modular architecture - pick and choose/plug and play

40 Oracle JET Complete JavaScript development framework Advanced two-way binding with a common model layer Leverages popular open-source technologies Rich set of UI components Smart resource management For intermediate & advanced JS devs Free and Open Sourced

41 Benefits Java script based development framework Easy to find developers Its an open source framework - FREE Oracle is putting major weight behind this Could prove to be a rising star The Bad Requires development skills Longer time to market Runs in the browser / But can be containerized

42 Oracle Mobile Application Accelerator A cross-platform, on-device LOW CODE mobile development tool for phone based applications using only a browser.

43 MAX Oracle Mobile Application Accelerator Nontechnical staff create cross-platform mobile applications for tablets and phones visually, using only a browser

44 Benefits Very rapid development tool Low code tool Nice UI based on Alta UI design principles Oracle is putting major weight behind this Could prove to be a rising star The Bad It s the new kid on the block It s a cloud tool - If your not into that sort of thing Limited UI templates and flexibility but getting there!

45 Oracle Forms a Facelift: Modernizing UI/UX

46 What if you could mobilize any Oracle Forms business process, without changing or adding a single line of code?

47 Unlock Oracle Forms / Oracle EBS systems without redevelopment cost & risk Same System - Many User Interfaces / Devices

48 The Solution for going Mobile with EBS & Oracle Forms Enterprise grade Mobile Backend in the Cloud Open standards, RESTful interfaces Expose existing Forms Applications as Web Services without writing one line of code Rapid wizard-based development Mobile analytics optimize performance Built-in Mobile Services for notifications, user management, offline data No redevelopment or migration of the Oracle Forms System
