Customer Reviews

Great Book for Web Application Development with Oracle!

This book was very useful in deciding on many aspects of web development with an Oracle. The author explained the application development tool and CGI scripting selection process, the make-up of a development team, HTML and other pertinent topics very well. I feel very comfortable with the project I have to tackle.

The Best Broad Coverage Book I've Read

This is a GREAT book! I was asked by my boss to figure out what it would take to place our inventory database on the Web for our suppliers to access. This book not only showed me a number of ways to do that, but gave me some great tips. This is NOT a book to buy if you want to learn how to do Oracle programming. It clearly states it though in the front matter. But, if you already know how to access an Oracle database and want to learn how to couple an Oracle database with a Web application, then this is a "must buy" book.

Great Book That Compehensively Covers The Topics

I have read (too) many technical books, but this is one that I found to be very valuable. The author does an excellent job of describing in enough detail to make sense to me how to build a Web application in a number of diferent ways using an Oracle back-end. Although it was "light" on Oracle-specific code examples, I didn't buy this book to learn how to code in Oracle. I bought it to learn how to build a Web application that required access to an Oracle database. I'm keeping this book locked up in my office because I don't want it to grow feet.

A really good base to use a database with a Web front-end.

I am not an Oracle database expert or a Web guru nor do I want to be. But, I do want to use some simple queries to load and update the database from my web-site. I found that this book was very informative in doing just that. It guided me in plain and simple terms on how to do just what I needed to do.

Great Book!

This book fulfilled on its promise of showing me how to either take an existing Oracle database and integrate it with a Web application, or build a new Oracle database along with a Web application. Although it assumes a basic understanding of Oracle programming and dba topics, I found the coverage of Web-related issues very thorough and well written. Since there is no single best way to build a Web database application, this book does a very good job of introducing the various ways to do this with alot of illustrations. The other review of this book, in my opinion, misses the mark. I thought that I received more value from this book than what I spent to buy it.
