5.0 out of 5 stars Best Beginning Book on Programming EVER, June 23, 2006
This review is from: Oracle PL/SQL For Dummies (Paperback)
This is just wonderful. Clearly written, easy to read, loads of basic tips. This is the perfect book for someone trying to get into the industry.

This book should be required reading for every new Oracle developer. Many experienced developers would do well to read this as well. Everything in this book should be industry standard, but much of it is not done by "experienced" developers.

Every company should have a few copies around to give to every new hire.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book For Learning PL/SQL, March 8, 2007
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Oracle PL/SQL For Dummies (Paperback)
I am very pleased w/ the purchase of the book. If your goal is to learn PL/SQL quickly and comprehensively, this is the book to buy. It covers all the fundamentals you need to know about PL/SQL and it is excellently written. I have been a developer for 20 years in many languages. Learning new languages from overly technical books and writters, I find, often times make your learning process slow and ineffective. I took this class at Oracle, but there were topics that the training manual and the instructor did not do a good job presenting. This book clarified many of the topics I that were presented in class in a simpler, clearer, and more effective manner. I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars First Rate Book, July 26, 2006
By 
This review is from: Oracle PL/SQL For Dummies (Paperback)
This book is an excellent introduction to both PL/SQL and general coding principles. It is a good book for beginners and old dogs alike. It provides simple, clear and useful introductions to advanced topics such a INSTEAD OF TRIGGERS, BULK COLLECTS etc. My team is now using it a our "best practice" document for PL/SQL coding. Well done Misha and Paul. ----- FOLLOW UP (September, 2009): My team has been using several copies of this book for over three years now. Our copies are dog-eared from much use. This book has more than paid for itself many, many times over. Both our senior and junior developers use the book routinely. I still think that it is a five star book.
