Tip: APEX Virtual Environment

I am trying to learn APEX and I was looking for a way to install it on my laptop.
No need to do that. Oracle allows you to create your own APEX workspace.
At the following URL, you can request your own workspace and start getting familiar with APEX fast and easily.

Just provide your email and you will be given a login, a test database schema and... enjoy developing! ;)
