No Java, Oracle Application Express (formerly HTMLDB)

So last week my boss decided to change programming language directions from the Java to Oracle Application Express (formerly HTML-DB). Partly because it's free, he can re-use a lot of the PL/SQL he has written and because it's less of a learning curve and allows for rapid application development (see example). I still would have liked to have learned Java but at this point I'd just like to write some "code" and get the application development moving along. Time is running out for my position here, ends in December 07.
