Because things in IT change fast, it’s sometimes difficult to distinguish the important trends from the less important. And that’s true for Oracle as well. It’s not that long ago when Oracle CEO Larry Elisson thought of Cloud Computing as just another short-living fashion trend (great audio by the way). But that began to change soon. And at least since Oracle OpenWorld 2015 we know for sure how serious Oracle became about Cloud Computing. “The computer industry is the only...

There are many map components in the world out there—and I have documented how to integrate several of them in an Oracle JET application, e.g., 3DCityDB, Mapbox, Leaflet, and LuciadRIA, as well as Oracle JET's ojThematicMap component. However, Oracle has its own map component, as described in detail below, which includes the Oracle Maps Javascript library: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/mapviewer/overview/index.html Oracle Fusion Middleware MapViewer is a...

:Wearables — your Apple Watches, Fitbits, and Misfits — are finally coming out to play in the world of enterprise applications. The Internet of Things (IoT) is also changing the game, so adopting a smart strategy is key. If you haven’t yet, check out this post on the Voice of User Experience (VoX) blog, “Wearables, IoT push Oracle’s emerging tech development.” Enterprise use cases can be hard to come by for some technologies, such as voice and gesture as input, but Oracle...

As we are using Oracle Jet more and more these days we thought it would be great to add ECMAScript 6 (ES6 for short) support by creating a base project to serve as a starting point for application development. What is ES6? From Wikipedia: ECMAScript (ES) is a trademarked scripting-language specification standardized by Ecma International in ECMA-262 and ISO/IEC 16262. It was based on JavaScript, which now tracks ECMAScript. It is commonly used for client-side scripting on...

Often, in enterprise mobile application development, there is more need for mobile applications to build than mobile skills in house. To bridge mobile skill shortage, the idea of citizen developers had been thrown into the ring and since generated a lot of interest in enterprise development. Technology research company Gartner defines citizen developer as "a user who creates new business applications for consumption by others using development and runtime environments...

I have just published my first OTN Tech Article where I present a use case that demonstrates how Oracle Process Cloud Service (Oracle PCS), Oracle Mobile Cloud Service (Oracle MCS) and Oracle Mobile Application Framework (Oracle MAF) can be use together to expose  an Oracle PCS process instance as a web service and consume it from an external system, web application or mobile application. "Oracle Process Cloud Service is a Platform as a Service (PaaS) provided by Oracle...
