Now they haven't really worked for me in the past - just like the poem to remember how many days in each month - I found it easier to remember the raw facts than the poem itself. Besides, the knuckle trick was easier.
Anyhow, this is an Oracle related blog, and I wanted to share an idea to remember the Apex URL syntax of:
f?p=App:Page:Session:Request:Debug:ClearCache:itemNames:itemValues:PrinterFriendly
Most of the time I remember the order fairly well off the top of my head, though sometimes I need to double check; and sometimes within the mix of a bunch of colons it's hard to work out what is what. Perhaps if you're reading a sentence in your head as you move the cursor between colons...
f?p=MY_APP:HOME::::::
So maybe what I (and others) need is a mnemonic to help us remember the order:
All | Application |
Programmers | Page |
Should | Session |
Read | Request |
Delightfully | Debug |
Creative | Cache |
Information | Items |
Values | |
Printer Friendly |
I didn't include the last two, since you don't often need to consider the printer friendly attribute and once you have items, you should know values follow. Besides, I tried not to make it too complicated or difficult to remember!
What do you think? Any other suggestions? This really was the first thing that rattled off my head after a productive day of Apexing.
Yup, I also felt like inventing a new verb.

Funny...
Why not "All Programmers Should Read Delightfully Creative Information Very Patiently" to include the Values and PrinterFriendly too :)
I like it. Good finish :-)
