Course Reviews

John provided a wonderfully calm and knowledgeable explanation of Oracle APEX. Though I have used this tool before I now feel much more confident in using it in my day to day work. The workshops gave me some hands on experience with things I haven't done before and the course material explains things at just the right level of detail.
