This article, part three of a three-part series, explores a DBAs journey to APEX.
The frenetic pace of application development in modern IT organizations means it’s not unusual to demand an application be built with minimal requirements gathering – literally, from a napkin-based sketch – to a working first draft of the app within extremely short time frames – even a weekend! – with production deployment to follow just a few days later. This article – the third in this ongoing series – demonstrates how simple it is to improve a basic prototype of the existing APEX application as well as construct a simple yet functional application for volunteer canvassers to connect with registered voters in a huge northwest suburban Chicago voting district, right from their mobile devices. Missed Part 2? Catch up here first.

Last month I wrote about lists and the thought process in choosing between a bulleted list versus a numbered list. Recall that I suggested using bulleted lists for collections of items, and numbered lists for sequences of steps. While that’s good advice, some cases can be spun in either direction. Sometimes the decision between a collection of items and process has more to do with your specific approach to a topic than to the nature of the list items.
