I recently took the certification exam to become an Oracle certified developer in APEX. I have to say it was a little complex, when I finished I thought I was not going to pass the test but I did.
I want to write some tips, and the way that I followed to get this Oracle APEX Certificate.
I hope this information will be useful for you, and don't worry I will write it also in Spanish :P
FYI:
Page with details about the exam: Oracle Application Express 18: Developing WebApplications
You must have an Oracle Account
and register on http://www.pearsonvue.com/oracle
Tip 1:
Watch, understand and try to replicate the examples of office hours videos.
I will recommend these topics:
APEX 18.1 New Features
Application Features
Data Visualization with Oracle APEX
Interactive Grids
Dynamic Actions
Universal Theme / Mobile Applications
Web Source Modules / REST Enabled SQL
Exposing RESTful Services using APEX and ORDS
Tip 2:
Read the official documentation about APEX
18
Tip 3:
Install Applications from the
gallery, try to reproduce or just try to understand
things that you don’t know.
Tip 4 - Small tips:
- Review Universal Theme and all components.
- Review the components with data source and its type of data source.
- Review all the things that you can do on shared components.
- Personally, I didn't see any question about JavaScript.
- Create your own application and try to force errors, determinate the error and solve it.
- Understand the basic concepts, for example what is the structure of an URL, what is schema authorization, authentication.
Tip 4 The most important:
On the exam web you can find all the
topics that you need to study.
