4.0 out of 5 stars Not too bad, January 2, 2011

This review is from: Pro ODP.NET for Oracle Database 11g (Expert's Voice in Oracle) (Paperback)

Overall the book has some very good examples and explanations. The introduction is very good as well. However, there are a bit too many redundant examples that seem to make the book thicker unnessarily. That being said, sometimes the detailed examples were very helpful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book, but misleading description in Amazon, no VB, April 23, 2010

This review is from: Pro ODP.NET for Oracle Database 11g (Expert's Voice in Oracle) (Paperback)

I just started into the book and it seemed to be exactly what I was looking for. My frustration is that the Amazon description indicates the book as "a rich set of VB and C# examples..." only to find out there are only C# examples. I also checked the apress site and the available source code is only for C#. Therefore this book is not worth a whole lot to me.

Update: After contacting the publisher and author the author created and provided the necessary VB examples, which are much appreciated and so I am revising my comments.
