Apex just gets better by the day. This idea of a meetup has been influenced by the the various local groups around the world.

Right now, there are a number of groups already formed across the world:

· ORCLAPEX-MSP for the Minneapolis, St. Paul area led by Jorge Rimblas

· ORCLAPEX-DFW for the Dallas/Fort Worth area led by Doug Gault

· ORCLAPEX-MTL for the Montreal area of Cadana led by Francis Mignault

· ORCLAPEX-NYC for the New York City area led by Dan McGhan

· ORCLAPEX-VIENNA for the Vienna Austria area led by Peter Raganitsch

you can check out the recently created ApexMeetups which houses a repository of all apex meet ups around the world.On the Global map found none on my continent.As the african adage says "With our thoughts we make the world " - I decided to startup one.

This great product from oracle in the part where I live is under utilized. This meetup is created is to help

1. Meet fellow developers in and around the environs

2. Sensitize the general public (other developer on other platforms ) about how easy it is to build apps on the fly with just a browser IDE.

3.Help bring out the next generation of African Apex developers

In the future, if this message is sung well,probably we could have some hackathons to solve , real African problems and also see perhaps some startups coming up from this.

OrclApex Accra is about to go live for its maiden meeting.

You can join OrclApex Accra here the Date will soon be slated.

Just can't wait.

Disabling of Password Expiration in Oracle Apex(Internal Workspace Admin)

This post was inspired by a question on the OTN APEX forum, which contains how to reset set the password of the Oracle Internal Workspace Admin and Set the account never to expire The first bullet has so many blogs talk about how to reset the password of the Internal Workspace. However, i am more intrigued with the second . To start of with It is not advisable to never expire accounts since its rudimental for user to always renew their accounts prior to expiration.
