Extending Oracle Application Express with Oracle Cloud Features: A Guide to Enhancing Apex Web Applications with Cloud-Native and Machine Learning Tec

This book shows Oracle Application Express (APEX) developers how to take advantage of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) features for APEX that might otherwise go missed. You will learn how to use OCI features for data science tasks such as detecting anomalies in your data, securing your applications through single sign-on, training machine learning models, and much more. The book provides an in-depth look at Oracle Cloud features and demonstrates how they can be easily integrated into an APEX application. While the book focuses on developing for APEX, the approaches covered in the book are also applicable to any other modern web developer framework for applications running on the OCI platform.
For many organizations, the database is the heart of operations. Those who opt to invest in the Oracle Database can learn from this book how to maximize their return on investment. The book begins with an introduction to OCI and help on setting up your OCI developer environment. From there you'll begin with security by learning to provide single sign-on via the Oracle Identity Cloud Service. Subsequent chapters take you through cloud-focused features such as Object Storage, Oracle Function, Oracle Machine Learning REST Services, and Oracle Cloud Anomaly Detection. You'll even learn to troubleshoot email delivery services.

What You Will Learn

• Be aware of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure features for developers
• Provide a seamless user login experience with OAuth2 authentication
• Integrate with cloud native services such as cloud-based object storage and serverless functions
• Enhance APEX applications with machine learning features
• Implement Natural Language Processing and Anomaly Detection Algorithms
• Troubleshoot email delivery services when sending emails using the APEX_MAIL package
• Design and implement an APEX environment that is secure

Who This Book Is For

APEX developers who are looking to extend their application's capabilities using features and resources available through the Oracle Cloud, and cloud solutions architects who support development teams and help design and implement architectures that benefit business operations

本書向Oracle Application Express (APEX) 開發人員展示了如何充分利用Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) 的功能，以提升APEX應用程式的效能。您將學習如何使用OCI的功能來進行數據科學任務，例如檢測數據中的異常、通過單一登錄保護應用程式、訓練機器學習模型等等。本書深入介紹了Oracle Cloud的功能，並演示了如何將其輕鬆整合到APEX應用程式中。雖然本書專注於APEX的開發，但所介紹的方法也適用於在OCI平台上運行的任何其他現代網頁開發框架。

對於許多組織來說，數據庫是業務運營的核心。選擇投資Oracle數據庫的人可以從本書中學習如何最大化投資回報。本書首先介紹OCI並幫助您設置OCI開發環境。然後，您將學習如何通過Oracle Identity Cloud Service提供單一登錄，從而實現安全性。接下來的章節將介紹雲端相關功能，例如物件儲存、Oracle Function、Oracle Machine Learning REST服務和Oracle Cloud異常檢測。您甚至還將學習如何解決電子郵件傳遞服務的問題。

您將學到什麼：
- 瞭解Oracle Cloud Infrastructure開發人員的功能
- 通過OAuth2身份驗證提供無縫的使用者登錄體驗
- 與雲原生服務整合，例如基於雲端的物件儲存和無伺服器函數
- 透過機器學習功能增強APEX應用程式
- 實施自然語言處理和異常檢測演算法
- 在使用APEX_MAIL套件發送電子郵件時解決郵件傳遞服務的問題
- 設計和實施安全的APEX環境

本書適合對通過Oracle Cloud擴展應用程式功能並利用可在Oracle Cloud中使用的資源的APEX開發人員，以及支援開發團隊並協助設計和實施有助於業務運營的架構的雲端解決方案架構師。
