2.0 out of 5 stars Good for Basics. Poor for Advanced Topics, November 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Developing Client/Server Applications With Oracle Developer/2000 (Paperback)

This book covers the basics somewhat well. It is good for beginners. It includes simple functionality to pull data from a table. But beware, the book is already outdated, and does not cover the most recent version of Des/Dev2000. In addition, it could be frustrating to use due to the syntax errors in the book's examples. On the bright side there is the CD.

The CD samples actually work, and contradict the poor code in the book. If you want to see how Developer2000 works, review the CD, and then take your pen to the book, make changes, and submit your edits (and bill for your time) to the Publisher. However, this is all contingent upon the fact that you can load the CD. I spent two days attempting to install the CD... even when I have used Oracle and Dev2000 before.

A CD tip for the USER that the book won't tell you: the Dev2000 Demo CD only runs on Win95.

A CD tip for the AUTHOR and PUBLISHER: Everybody does not run Win95.

Overall, the book is below average since it's examples cover only the most basic of reports and functionality. Maybe, you could teach a college class with this, but it is impractical in business. Who prints a report based on a simple join anymore?

1.0 out of 5 stars CD Doesn't Work on Windows 95B !, April 7, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Developing Client/Server Applications With Oracle Developer/2000 (Paperback)

My PC runs on Windows 95B and it locks up with this CD-ROM. The support people sent me a patch for it, but it still doesn't work. They know it doesn't work with Windows 95, yet they still sell the book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Good for beginners only., March 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Developing Client/Server Applications With Oracle Developer/2000 (Paperback)

I (Talat Deeb) read this book after a course on the Oracle developer-2000, it didn't add so much knowledge to me. I suggest this book for the beginners only.
