Obligatory "Taking the Plunge" Post

Who is Tyson Jouglet?

I am a relatively young techie who went to school wanting to become a Java developer. Despite spending numerous hours learning about Java and Object Oriented Programming methodologies my very first job in the programming world was working with Oracle Application Express (APEX) for a company in San Diego CA.  I spent a lot of my time converting Oracle Forms into APEX, becoming familiar with web application development and discovering what the Oracle Database can do. Little did I know what I got myself into...

I now work as a consultant in Huntsville AL developing APEX applications and find myself thoroughly enjoying what I do. When I am not working I am most likely spending time with my now 20-week-pregnant wife.

What to Expect

I primarily created this blog to discuss Oracle APEX and some of the techniques I have used to solve the challenges I have encountered at my daily job. Since web applications involve more than just simple HTML, you can expect to see posts related to some of the following technologies:

• Oracle APEX
• PL/SQL and Oracle Database development
• JavaScript / jQuery
• HTML / CSS
• BI Publisher
• XML / XSL-FO

Given the nature of the ever-expanding tool belt of developers, I am sure this list will continue to grow.

Most Importantly

I want to help you learn something new!
