Review

Oracle Application Server 10G is an integrated suite of middleware technology designed to help build Enterprise Applications, Web Sites and Web Services, Enterprise Portals, Business Processes, Business Intelligence, and other systems. Wow!

It used to be that a database was just that, a thing that you fed data and it gave it back when you politely asked (I say politely because you had to talk its language, SQL, and you had to talk it fairly precisely or it just gave you some incomprehensible rejection notice.)

Now the database has become almost a complete business environment. The Oracle Application Server contains a web server (based on Apache), a web portal, Wireless connectivity, Forms, Java 2 Enterprise Edition, all kinds of management and security routines, and more.

This book is primarily a Web Development book. That is, it uses virtually all of the parts of the Oracle Application Server with a view to presenting information on the web. Probably this is because so many business applications are now being written with a view of using the web as the standard interface into the business system.

Beyond that, however, this book actually covers nearly every aspect of the Application Server. The book includes things such as using Java in the Oracle Database along with the JDeveloper IDE. Many of these subjects have books written about them alone. Here in one volume is a complete introduction to just about everything you could possibly use to produce any business system needed using the Oracle system, and it's the most complete approach that I've found. (Books-On-Line )

You will learn how to use Oracle 10g Application Server, Oracle Developer Suite 10g and JDeveloper 10g. I felt that it was a good book and overall I have little ill to say about it. The examples are well written and do a good job of reinforcing what you read in the chapter. You read a little then do an example, then read some more, then add to the example and so on. You will need some basic Java (or C# understanding to translate into Java) and PL/SQL knowledge to perform some of the examples and over 2 gigs on your PC or Server to install Oracle Application Server. I highly recommend that you learn ASP.NET in C# and VB.NET ASP.NET 3.5 Unleashed and only learn Oracle Developer Suite edition if your in a special shop that uses this software. JDeveloper & Oracle Application Server can be downloaded from[...]

5.0 out of 5 stars As good as a training, August 8, 2007

By	Jean Pierre Dagenais (Montreal, Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Oracle Application Server 10g Web Development (Osborne ORACLE Press Series) (Paperback)

Je suis analyste d'affaires en Entrepot de donnees (Datawarehousing). Mon organisation a choisi Oracle Portal comme plate-forme de presentation de l'information d'affaires contenue dans l'Entrepot.

La lecture de "Oracle AS 10g Web Devevelopment" a ete une source d'aide tres precieuse dans ce projet. Je recommande et conseil ce livre a tous les analystes qui ont a monter un projet avec Oracle Portal.
