4.0 out of 5 stars Conceptual Overview, July 15, 2001

By A Customer

The book provides a good overview of the JDeveloper product including some of the future direction. It is primarilly made up of exercises which walk you through using the most important feature of JDeveloper, the BC4J wizards. The main reason for using JDeveloper is as an Oracle database web application tool and this introduces the overall concepts. While the book is pretty basic on coverage of web techniques (book on JDeveloper not web), it still covers many concepts through the exercises.

It is SIGNIFICANTLY better than last JDeveloper book which was useless.

2.0 out of 5 stars Lot's of misunderstandings in this text, April 6, 2001

By A Customer

While the topic for this book is very hot, there are several severe inaccuracies in the use and application of JDeveloper.

There is also way too much theory, and while theory is fun for graduate students, the body of the text is wanting for real-world examples.

Overall, I am sorry I bought this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Timely & helpful, April 9, 2001

By	"[e-mail]" - See all my reviews

I've had the book since it's been out (only 3 days) but this reference has already proven to be of great value. It was extraordinarily accurate and timely in it's helpful topics.

It's written with common sense and in a down to earth delivery style that is most refreshing in the technical genera. I especially appreciated the cookbook style examples with helpful screen figures, showing how the tool looks in each. I've recommended this reference to my colleages and plan on looking for further editions from these authors.
