In 2010 I developed my first Oracle APEX application in a small team. This project was also the first time I was dealing with Oracle databases and PL/SQL after years of developing web applications with PHP and MySQL. After getting to know the community for the first time at the DOAG conference and exhibition I decided to become an Oracle APEX consultant. Now I am trying to bring as much knowledge as possible to the community and therefore organize Meetups in Hamburg (Germany) and get involved in the DOAG NextGen Community and the DOAG Development Community.
