Oracle Application Express 3.1.1

I've recently been working with the Oracle Applications Express 3.1.1 development tool provided free with Oracle's 10g and up database product. It is pretty cool. Not being a DBA or a web developer, but also not being wholly ignorant of either, has not prevented me from creating some pretty useful tools at work. The best part is that you can create 'apps' from spreadsheets, which is very useful.

Once you start messing around with it you start to see how it works, and you can really expand on what you have done. For example, you can create your own javascript functions and implement them directly with buttons etc. And you can reference application variables, constants easily.
