This immersive 3-day, 12-hour course is your launchpad into the future of

AI-powered applications and AI-assisted development. With 12 expertly crafted modules — each paired with its own hands-on workshop — you’ll

master the fusion of Generative AI with Oracle APEX. Learn to generate pages, write SQL, and scaffold entire applications using natural language prompts, then flip the paradigm to embed AI directly into your apps. From natural language search and predictive analytics to chatbots and intelligent document and image processing, you’ll build applications that adapt, respond, and elevate the user experience to previously unattainable heights.

We will explore Oracle's AI-powered features in APEX 24.2 and Oracle 26ai, including the AI Assistant, vector search, OCI AI Services, Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and application security, prompt engineering best practices.

Build Faster. Think Smarter. Deliver More.

This course doesn’t just boost developer velocity — it delivers measurable ROI through faster prototyping, smarter UX, and scalable architecture. You’ll learn how to integrate with nearly any AI provider using secure APIs, while designing applications that respect data privacy, enforce security, and follow ethical AI principles. Whether you're modernizing legacy systems or launching next-gen solutions, this is the skillset that empowers teams to build responsibly, ship faster, and deliver value with unprecedented speed and accuracy.

Don't let your competition get ahead – equip yourself and your development team with the AI skills and solutions that are reshaping the future of enterprise application development. This course will separate tomorrow’s tech leaders from yesterday’s coders.
