11.5. Summary

This chapter has given you a path to improved productivity — through simply downloading and using packaged applications and sample code.

You learned that both of these areas offer several benefits.

  • You can add functionality with a simple import.

  • You can learn tips and techniques on using APEX to address your issues through the examples in the applications and code.

  • You can get a head start on your own development work with packaged applications and the modules in the code samples.

Through the standard device of exporting and importing applications and modules, you can quickly add plenty of power to your own APEX environment, which, in turn, makes the environment more valuable. You may reach the point where you want to start bringing some of your older, creaky applications into the APEX fold — a migration that is the subject of the closing chapter of this book.
