In collaboration with University of Baghdad, Data Science Department at the College of Excellence in Iraq, Oracle Academy recently held a workshop focused on Oracle APEX and the Oracle Academy Cloud Program. The workshop brought together Iraqi universities’ educators and students and highlighted the importance of APEX, the world’s most popular enterprise cloud-based low-code development platform, which enables users to build scalable, secure enterprise apps with world-class features that can be deployed anywhere ― on premises or in the cloud.
William Mcrae, Oracle Academy Principal Instructor, EMEA , demonstrated to the more than 62 participants how to use the tool in the free Oracle Academy Cloud Program. Oracle Academy provides to our Institutional members and their educators and students free access to Oracle APEX for knowledge building and hands-on skills practice.
Our Oracle Academy APEX platform enables educators to offer the perfect environment for students to explore and build, supporting practice in our database curriculum and many Oracle Academy Education Bytes hands-on labs. Plus access to Oracle APEX in the cloud offers more advanced students career-ready experience working in Oracle Autonomous Database within Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
Educators have access to easy ‘getting started with’ learning materials so they can become fully versed in APEX and share their knowledge with students.
The University of Baghdad was founded in 1957 as the second largest university in the Middle East and the oldest university in Iraq. It is the first of its kind from which all highly trained faculty members, technical and administrative staff have emerged and who became the first seed for establishing and fostering other Iraqi universities.
