A word about Mr. Hotka

I am planning on reading Mr. Hotka's book about Oracle 9i. However, I am in the process of finishing Oracle 8i from Scratch which is also an other book by Mr. Hotka. I needed to run some sql scripts that are no longer abvailable on the press house of Oracle 8i, so I thought to myself, I'll send an email to Mr. Hotka as a last resort before I go into the trouble of writing these lengthy scripts. Honstley speaking, I really did not think that Mr. Hotka will get back to me or I will ever hear from him. To my surprise, few hours later I found a message from Mr. Hotka where he directed me to his own website where I was able to download the scripts I needed. Well to me, that shows alot of integrity and commitment to his readers. It is exactly what a reader needs when he is looking for new source of knowledge. I have to say that the flow of information and the way of explaining things is very easy to follow that makes his books a very good tool to learn about new technologies and acquire advanced skills.Riyad Naser

Author Replies to the negative reviews

Hi,I wanted to reply to George and the other person who took their time to review my latest book. This book has sold well and it is simply a shame that these individuals chose to publicly flame me rather than contact me with any issues they were having.The examples DO work...how do you think I was able to create the illustrations for the book? My only comment is that Oracle now has a newer version of forms available but these examples do work.The book has an excellent working example of PSP, Java, and XML in building websites that interact with the Oracle database. I use these exact code examples in my many user group speaking engagements (I do live demonstrations using these examples). These are probably the strongest chapters in the book. There is also a good working example of Oracle Portal.The book is used throughout the world as College text. Most instructors like the level of detail and the labs/quizes at the end of each chapter.
