One of the hints from the presentation was to highlight the different staged systems so that the developer can easily identify where he/she works. I’ve seen customers who had problems because of this. Often developers execute different tasks on TEST, QA…
At the APEX Connect in Berlin, I had the chance to present the vision and best practices for nearshoring development in the context of APEX. Since 2004 we have been doing nearshoring development on different JAVA technologies and ORACLE frameworks, mostly on ORACLE ADF, APEX, MAF, JET and WebCenter stack. What we realized is that…
