Customer Reviews

One of a kind

I have read several books about eCommerce development. This is the only book that gave me enough information to understand the various aspects of developing eCommerce applications. The book uses the idea of an application that is developed throughout the book and various issues are dealt with in a logical fashion. Very practical and full of valuable tips. I was able to run all the code (some code had errors but I was easily able to fix them). I am disappointed that some reviews are focussing on a few typos in the book instead of looking at the bigger picture.

Exactly what I needed!

I have a basically Java background but no Oracle experience. This book helped me in understanding the ways in which I can make use of Oracle technology and my Java knowledge while working on e-Commerce projects. The scalability and performance topics in the book helped me a lot in my current project.

Very valuable

This book contains a lot of valuable information about developing e-Commerce applications using Oracle8i technology. All the major issues involved in developing such applications are discussed with examples, and most importantly using Oracle8i technologies.Prior to reading this book, I was experienced with Java but had not used it with Oracle8i. This book helped me in bridging the gap and help me understand how to best use the two technologies in a practical manner.

Excellent book

This book is a must read for anyone planning to work with Oracle8i and Java. It discusses technical issues related to e-Business initiatives and explains how to address the challenges while using Oracle8i and Java. An online coffee shop is progressively built throughout the book.The book is very well written and it provides enough Oracle8i and Java information making it easy to read and understand.

A must for anyone developing e-commerce applications

I found the book to be very well written. The author has discussed all the issues that one can face when developing e-commerce applications making use of Oracle8i technology and Java. Using an online coffee shop as an example the author has done a great job in showing how Oracle8i technology can be used. Throughout the book the author gives important practical tips on issues such as security, scalability and performance - all critical issues for e-commerce.Enough information about Java language is given so that even a novice Java programmer can easily understand how to use Java efficiently.The best thing that I liked was that I was logically taken from the ground up through the whole process and introduced to the issues and solutions associated with e-commerce development.
