Format:Paperback
Although this book is titled "PL/SQL for Dummies" it's everything but! Paul Dorsey is one of the top Oracle experts of our time, and his expertise shows through in every page. I've been working with Oracle for 20+ years and consider myself pretty expert. I've learned a lot from this book. You want to set Oracle coding standards? (one thing I did for my last firm) - this book does it for you. But at the same time it is basic enough for a beginner to learn how to code Oracle. This book should be in EVERY Oracle developer's library - from beginner to expert.

Best Beginning Book on Programming EVER
23 Jun 2006
Format:Paperback
This is just wonderful. Clearly written, easy to read, loads of basic tips. This is the perfect book for someone trying to get into the industry.
This book should be required reading for every new Oracle developer. Many experienced developers would do well to read this as well. Everything in this book should be industry standard, but much of it is not done by "experienced" developers.
Every company should have a few copies around to give to every new hire.

Excellent Book For Learning PL/SQL
9 Mar 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am very pleased w/ the purchase of the book. If your goal is to learn PL/SQL quickly and comprehensively, this is the book to buy. It covers all the fundamentals you need to know about PL/SQL and it is excellently written. I have been a developer for 20 years in many languages. Learning new languages from overly technical books and writters, I find, often times make your learning process slow and ineffective. I took this class at Oracle, but there were topics that the training manual and the instructor did not do a good job presenting. This book clarified many of the topics I that were presented in class in a simpler, clearer, and more effective manner. I highly recommend it.

First Rate Book
26 July 2006
Format:Paperback
This book is an excellent introduction to both PL/SQL and general coding principles. It is a good book for beginners and old dogs alike. It provides simple, clear and useful introductions to advanced topics such a INSTEAD OF TRIGGERS, BULK COLLECTS etc. My team is now using it a our "best practice" document for PL/SQL coding. Well done Misha and Paul. ----- FOLLOW UP (September, 2009): My team has been using several copies of this book for over three years now. Our copies are dog-eared from much use. This book has more than paid for itself many, many times over. Both our senior and junior developers use the book routinely. I still think that it is a five star book.
