Format:Paperback
I purchased this book as an aide to my studies, as part of our course revolves around Database Systems, and more specifcally Oracle and Developer 2000. I found this book to be most beneficial towards the work that I was doing for my studies, but there are times during reading the book that I feel the author could have more clearly expressed the points that were being made. As a beginner, this book has proved to be an invaluable purchase, but those who are already familiar with Developer 2000 may find this book a little to "beginnerish" for them. Though I have to say, after reading some other books on this topic, this is by far the best I have read so far, even if it isn't perfect !

A very good tutorial book, however, needs to be updated.
23 Oct 1997
Format:Paperback
I'm an old hand at Oracle Forms, having worked with it since version 1.3. When a friend recommended this book, I thought it would be another week wasted, glossing over the same old commands and explanations. I couldn't have been more wrong. Much to my suprise (and embarrassment) this book is chock-full-o'tid-bits. Even including a section (albeit brief) on how to integrate Developer Forms with other applications, like MS Word, and Excel. I do, however, have 2 complaints with the book: 1)The book was written with screens in Windows 3.11 instead of Win 95, this will do nothing but confuse the novice and 2)it is riddled with mistakes in the tutorials. My recommendations is to wait for a newer, cleaner release. Once it comes out, I believe you will be hard pressed to find a better tutorial to Developer Forms.

Good introductory to Oracle Forms
1 Jan 1998
Format:Paperback
This was the only book I was able to found in bookstores specifically on Oracle Forms. It covers all the main features in a concise and clear manner. It serves as a good tutorial in writing simple forms projects. One thing the books doesn't tell the user is the flow logic works differently depending on the objects being called (program units, functions, triggers, buttons, alerts, menus, blocks and etc) from the traditional top down approach in conventional programming languages. The reader may find this a bit confusing initially when their form project isn't working exactly as might expected.

Solid book on Oracle forms development
9 Feb 1998
Format:Paperback
I like this book a lot, especially the running tutorials based on sample databases, but unfortunately I now need to use Developer/2000 2.0. I hope the author updates this book for the new version.
