It was a Labor of .... well it took a bit of work.

It has been a while. For a lot of things and for a lot of reasons.  Today I want to extend a greeting to all those serving in uniform no matter your country.  As the US celebrates its Independence Day, I recognize that those in uniform bear the brunt of diplomacy and its failings but the service you provide is invaluable to those that you serve.  I wish you all Peace now and in the future.

This latest post is to commemorate the first real showcase of a project that I have been working on for a while. It's origins go back as far as when I first began to use Application Express.  I had worked with several other systems that included a workflow component and almost immediately felt the absence of one in the APEX offerings. 
  I began with the idea, it matured into a design, then to code, and finally it got a name "Relay".   I originally thought that Domino might be better but IBM already had a product with that name, and I was uncomfortable with the idea that the perception of the name included a lot of work with one good show at the end.
  Over the years I worked, here, there; whenever I had some time in my life with my wife, (her patience with this should be notably appreciated), my two sons, and a full-time career.  Now, I have come to a point where I'd really like to show some of what it means to have workflow in your applications.  Today I uploaded a short (25min) video to youtube.com.  You can find the video here (https://youtu.be/N56G9VYbmtg) or by clicking the logo.
I am hoping that Relay will fill the gap I have seen for far too long in APEX and allow us to redefine some of how we create our applications in the future. 

There will be questions, I know this.  There will be comments, I know that too.  There will also be more videos and posts from me as I show more of what this has become.  Please tell me what you think.  As for release and a decision on commercial availability, I am leaving that as an open-ended topic for the moment but I am open to thoughts here as well.

Enjoy!
