1.0 out of 5 stars Oracle9i Developer by Examples, March 31, 2003
By 
George Mbogo (Homewood, Illinois United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oracle9i Development By Example (Paperback)
I have read many Oracle books, especially Oracle developer
books and this book is a great disappointment.

Mr. Hotka is a great writer in his other books, but he presents nothing new in this book, except advertisement for TOAD, I use TOAD everyday in my development and DBA work but most users new to Oracle have never heard of TOAD.

The books should have focused on what the title suggests. Oracle developer by examples, and should have presented clear examples for new users to understand.

This book jumps from into to Oracle SQL to Oracle developer6i without clear examples and when the examples are presented, most of them don't work!

A major rewrite of this book is in order.

Don't waste your money on this one.

If you are looking for Oracle Developer books for beginner, I recommend the following books.

1. Forms Developer's Handbook by: Albert Lulushi

2. Oracle Developer Starter Kit by: Robert Muller

3. Oracle Forms Developer (The Complete Training Course) by: Benjamin Rosenweig

4. Oracle Forms Interactive Workbook by: Baman Motivala.

These books are available here at Amazon.com. I have read all of these books and they are great for those new to Oracle forms developer.

1.0 out of 5 stars Oracle 9i Development, July 9, 2002

This review is from: Oracle9i Development By Example (Paperback)
Does NOT cover the material needed to pass the 5 Developer tests. 50% of the examples do not work or are missing data. Needs major rewrite.

5.0 out of 5 stars A word about Mr. Hotka, February 22, 2004
By 
Riyad Naser (Beachwood, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oracle9i Development By Example (Paperback)
I am planning on reading Mr. Hotka's book about Oracle 9i. However, I am in the process of finishing Oracle 8i from Scratch which is also an other book by Mr. Hotka. I needed to run some sql scripts that are no longer abvailable on the press house of Oracle 8i, so I thought to myself, I'll send an email to Mr. Hotka as a last resort before I go into the trouble of writing these lengthy scripts. Honstley speaking, I really did not think that Mr. Hotka will get back to me or I will ever hear from him. To my surprise, few hours later I found a message from Mr. Hotka where he directed me to his own website where I was able to download the scripts I needed.
Well to me, that shows alot of integrity and commitment to his readers. It is exactly what a reader needs when he is looking for new source of knowledge. I have to say that the flow of information and the way of explaining things is very easy to follow that makes his books a very good tool to learn about new technologies and acquire advanced skills.
