3.0 out of 5 stars Lacks of GUI interfaces, April 10, 2000

"vulinh" - See all my reviews

This review is from: e-Commerce Applications Using Oracle8i and Java From Scratch (Paperback)

Throughout the book, you will not find any graphical illustrations or screen shots for application interfaces.

Despite the promising title "e-Commerce Applications...", the book fell short of from what readers will expect. The book title and its back cover promise to take you the "promised land" where you can use Oracle8i and Java to build an "Online Coffee Shop" and other applications. What a combinational power technologies: Oracle8i and Java!

Also the book was claimed for user level of "Beginning-Intermediate", but how it could be useful if the author writes a Java GUI application book without screen shots and graphical interface illustrations? I don't think so. I feel like the book was not prepared well and rushed to published.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good introduction to Oracle8i and Java, June 9, 2000

Mr Ronaldo CRUZ - See all my reviews

This review is from: e-Commerce Applications Using Oracle8i and Java From Scratch (Paperback)

This book provides a solid introduction to Java technology and how to take advantage of it using Oracle8i -- all within the framework of building an e-commerce web application.

While the book doesn't require any screen shots to explain the process (as opposed to step-by-step instructions), it does not include the actual code to build the e-commerce code. Instead, the author focuses on explaining the technology (Java and Oracle8i) and how everything hangs together.

Chapters 1 to 3 cover the Oracle database architecture as well the means to create and develop a database.

Chapters 4 to 10 explains Java, its components and how it fits with Oracle8i.

Chapters 11 to 15 cover advanced topic including optimization and security.

Overall, this book would be ideal for the beginner to intermediate reader who would like to get a medium-to-high level grounding in Java and Oracle8i technology in the context of building a web app.

The text is well written and covers Java and Oracle8i in enough detail with ample examples to get you started.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for anyone developing e-commerce applications, April 28, 2000

Daniel Stone (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: e-Commerce Applications Using Oracle8i and Java From Scratch (Paperback)

I found the book to be very well written. The author has discussed all the issues that one can face when developing e-commerce applications making use of Oracle8i technology and Java.

Using an online coffee shop as an example the author has done a great job in showing how Oracle8i technology can be used.

Throughout the book the author gives important practical tips on issues such as security, scalability and performance - all critical issues for e-commerce.

Enough information about Java language is given so that even a novice Java programmer can easily understand how to use Java efficiently.

The best thing that I liked was that I was logically taken from the ground up through the whole process and introduced to the issues and solutions associated with e-commerce development.
