This book gives you enough to be dangerous. Not enough real world examples and information is at a high summary level. Great book for FYI of what Developer is and what it can do . . . If you need to be able to develope don't bother buying it.

This book is only useful for IT managers or those who only want a high level overview of Developer. Needs more practical code examples.

Gawd it's nice to read a technical book that doesn't assume you have to be shown every screen and button click. It gives the straight dope on NCA, Forms 5.0 and Reports 3.0. Loved the anecdotes!

This is the worst book I've even seen. It does not tell you "how-to" at all. It just gives you some definitions. And, it calls itself as a "handbook". Oh, maybe what it really refers to is "a book can be flipped by hands". This way, the author is right.

This book is best for the beginner. Those of us who have worked with Oracle Forms for some time will not find answers in this book for more advanced questions and will often end up taking a different book off the shelf. I do like the Object Properties charts in Appendix A though - they are useful for quick information at a glance.

Easy to read, concise and rich. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in Oracle Developer. This is a beginners book, but it's the best!

Whatever happened to specifying the audience for a book. I really do not know how to categorize this book. The content of the book was definitely written for the CEO types, then why would a CEO need a CBT (Supplied on a CD ROM). A very weak index for the book makes it even hard to use. I did like one aspect of the book. Towards the end, about sixty five pages have been dedicated to a usable cross reference of Developer 2000 properties.

I like the books with 400 pages or less, but this one falls short of its promise. I put very little to no value on the accompanied media, because if I wanted a CD media, I would have bought one. Spending $... for a cross reference of bunch of properties, is too steep in my opinion.

Excellent book, explains everything in more details
