Great book & resource

This is a fabulous book, clear and well-written. It's simple enough for those without much experience, but also provides enough detail for those who don't need coddling... Definitely, worth the $.

Outstanding Overview for Beginners

If you're starting to become involved with making your Oracle databases available over the web this is a must read. You can dig out the information presented here from the Oracle manuals and tech sites but ... in just 200 pages the relevant information is collected and organized. Take a weekend to read this book before you start working with the web. You'll learn what pieces are available to you and how they fit together...

Useful book

The title suggests this book is an Introduction to web applications. As an Oracle contractor who knew little about the web, I found it very helpful in that it explained clearly and concisely some of the approaches that the Oracle Corp is taking to web development. For me, it was useful to have a summary of HTML and XML. Well worth a read.

WEBDB Well written for beginners

I have been an Oracle DBA for several years, and I still find this book to be of great help in developing Web applications.I have developed about three systems that in production now, and could have spent time searching users guide for information on WEBDB functionalities, but the book helped me find what I was looking for fast.I am starting on site building and I believe that I will get all the help I need from the book.Every Webdb developer should have this book as a reference.

Good book for beginners

Reviewer Jay missed the point. The book is clearly for beginners and does a good job of informing them. In this field there are varying levels of expertise so the book buyer should keep that in mind when purchasing a book. I for one found the book to be informative and worthwhile for my particular level of expertise
