Dear Sandra, Martin, all,
I'm currently learning APEX and find the following books very useful
(apart from the docu of course).
Both are dealing with APEX 3.2
http://p2p.wrox.com/book-beginning-oracle-application-express-isbn-9780470388372/75096-apex-3-2-a.html
The author uses a sample application to walk through the APEX features.
https://www.packtpub.com/oracle-application-express-3-2/book
This is not a pure 'recipes' book, the main focus is more on the basic
principles, so you can use the concepts in your projects.
This book has also a chapter which addresses javascrit, AJAX, it gives
you a staring point.
Oracle By Example may be also of interest, you'll find alos APEX 4.0
examples (sorry link breaks):

Kind regards
