Welcome to Oracle and Salesforce development
Posted: March 5, 2008 Filed under: Adobe, Oracle, Salesforce Leave a comment »First thank you for taking the time to visit this site and read the articles.
Let me introduce myself…..
I am Peter Martin, originally from Ireland and now living in Michigan, US. I have been involved with application development since 1993 in various industries and on different platforms (JCL, Cobol all the way through to Internet development).
My interests and expertise now lie with Oracle Application Express and Salesforce.
I hope that this can serve as center for tips and tricks with these platforms. But also more importantly I hope to clear away some of the more confusing aspects for beginning developers as well as non-developers.
I will also be writing about other technical topics (Adobe Flex, SEO).
