Oracle Keynote: Transform Your Tomorrow
Today's unprecedented industry transformation is creating the need for a comprehensive and integrated Cloud Platform that helps organizations develop modern applications, integrate across clouds, manage and analyze any data, and allow users to collaborate, share and mobilize. Attend this keynote to learn how Oracle Cloud Platform enables developers, IT professionals and line of business users to innovate faster, lower cost and risk, and gain a competitive advantage.

TRACK 1: Modern Application Development in the Cloud

Track Summary: Developers want to build new applications, extend existing ones, and easily move on-premises workloads to the cloud with no application changes or new tools to learn. Likewise they need to collaborate closely with IT Operations and Lines of Business to deliver on their priorities. Listen to these sessions to gain insights into Oracle's New Cloud Platform for Application Development that enable developers to easily and rapidly develop, test and deploy web and mobile applications with integrated data management.

Session 1: Put Java in its Place: The Cloud

Java apps are for the desktop, mobile devices, server-side, client-side and will be consumed in future forms we haven't even seen yet. JavaScript for mobile and rich applications is becoming the norm. Java is everywhere and it's anything but boring these days, and we know you're up to the challenge! Join us to see how the cloud is changing the way you develop Java and JavaScript apps, connect and enrich them with data sources and manage their lifecycle from concept to delivery - for the cloud and your traditional systems.

Session 2: Quickly Build and Deploy Database Apps in the Cloud with Oracle Application Express (APEX)

What if you could rapidly build state-of-the-art web and mobile applications using a standard web browser interface, and not write a single line of CSS or Javascript? Learn how Oracle Application Express, a powerful application development environment that's included with Oracle Database Cloud Service, simplifies the application development cycle – taking you from prototype to production in minutes. Select from a variety of packaged production-ready business apps that can be installed with a few clicks and refined to meet your business needs. APEX also lets you create RESTful web services to access your data and build or run mobile and web apps outside the cloud using simple APIs.

Session 3: Get SaaSy: Customize Your User Experience and Extend your SaaS capabilities with PaaS
