June Spotlight: Leading the low-code pack with Oracle APEX

Hello APEXionados,

If you're anything like me, these days, you're excited about a number of things. Kscope24, the premier Oracle APEX conference, is just around the corner, taking place in Nashville. The Oracle ACE program has just announced its membership updates for 2024-2025. The Oracle APEX team has all but told us that the next release of our favorite low code platform is happening on June 17th. And finally, Bridgerton Series 3, part 2, on Netflix, is just about to be released. Ok, maybe that last one is just me. But squee!!

Embracing the Future: Oracle APEX's GenAI

Oracle APEX 24.1 is set to revolutionize low-code development with its new GenAI features. While we don't know what it will include, I'm taking a stab at some guesses: from automated code generation and intelligent debugging assistance to natural language querying and AI-powered UI/UX enhancements. With this release, I'm confident that Oracle APEX is poised to lead the way in the enterprise low-code space. For a deeper dive into what we might expect and how these features compare to other platforms, check out my latest article here.
