My two cents on low code and APEX

Today was (again) a nice day. A sunny day with almost 20 degrees (Celsius), no clouds and just the right amount of wind. Perfect conditions to do some paragliding and after the flight, a cold beer with a friend.  But there was something else that made my day. It was something that happened in the office. Today we got a visit from a young 18 years old future student. Next year he will go to college and he is still not sure which one or which direction. But he said, he is interested in programming and that is why I invited him to visit us.  We started talking, and it went like this:  Me: Do you know Oracle or databases. Him: no Me: OK, do you know anything about APEX Him; no Me: OK, what about PL/SQL, SQL, Java, ... Him: no And I thought to my self, this is perfect! My next question was: Do you know anything about ER diagrams? The answer was...No. And I thought to my self, even better...let's try to teach him and see how fast he can learn and even more important if he will understand
