Customer Reviews

Superb work by a rare expert

I sincerely believe that Brad did an expert job on the book.With hands-on examples and configuration parameters that will help you to be up and running, you can't easily beat this expert's advice from other sources.I feel this book is like having a guru sit beside you and instructing you, while you go ahead and do the coding.

This book is helpful

I am reading this book and I think it is interesting and helpful.

MUST read from start to finish

If you read segments of this book, I can undertstand how you might think it's not a valuable book. However, this book was written thinking that people would read it cover-to-cover. If you pick it up and read it as a reference book, it will have little value. If you're intention is to learn about Web development from start to finish, this book is for you. If not, it's not for you.

Oracle9i Web Development is a masterpiece on Web development

Book Review by Linda Ruff on Oracle 9i Web Development by Bradley D. Brown, published by Oracle PressBrad Brown has authored several very good books on Oracle related topics and this book, promises to be a "masterpiece" on developing Oracle based Web applications. After my reading the book in order to write a review for a technical publication, I can tell perspective buyers not to hesitate in punching this superb publication. If you are considering a book on developing Oracle based web applications, look no further, this is it. But if that does not convince you, here are the details:To start off, there is a 21 page contents listing, preceded by a concise two page "Contents at a Glance" that steer the reader through this incredible publication.The introduction was extremely helpful to me, especially the section on "How the Book is Organized" because it has a good summary of each chapter and it helped me write this book review. Another point about appreciating a good introduction and contents is allowing the perspective reader the best opportunity to make a good selection when shopping for a book. A delightful feature in the introduction is "Components Needed" which lists all software, including versions, to install to make everything in the book work. How often have you been trying to work through a technical software problem only to find out the documentation or manuals did not list what was required? Maybe a better question to ask, is how often do they thoroughly list what is required to make development work?Another good feature in the introduction is the Product Usage Diagram in a Consumers Report type symbols that list the "strengths and weaknesses of different Oracle products, languages, and tools", most of which are covered in this book. Great feature!The book is well organized and divided into five parts: Getting Prepared, Core Concepts, Modules, Oracle Tools and Ongoing Support. Getting Prepared covers Architecture, Installation, iAS Configuration and Tuning, Uptime and Disaster Planning. The architecture of Oracle 9iAS is "radically different" and the author covers installation of the entire iAS suite. In fact, since Oracle 9iAS has so many features and product rewrites, this book is not a revision as planned,, but was entirely rewritten. The author recommend reading the installation chapter before ever touching disks and to cover the configuration chapters I liked the "Quick Tuning and configuration Answers" in Chapter three, but I like the chapter as a whole because it covered where iAS gets it's information, understanding directives, configuration file structure, ports, configuring and starting/stopping Apache, global directives, managing and configuring modules, security and authentication.Real Application Clusters (RAC) Technology, 24X7 Uptime and disaster plan importance round out the first five chapters and part I of the book. Core Concepts starts out with Tips & Techniques on HTML, then covers JavaScript develop

Great 9i Web Text!

Brad Brown has long been recognized as a leader in Oracle Web development, and this text further convinces me of his extraordinary skill in explaining complex Oracle web topics.While the text is a door-stop at 1,100 pages, it is full of useful reference material that is not availible anywhere else.The example are clear and well-written, and desite the bulk of this text, it is easy to fo0llow. Highly recommended.
