Oracle9i Web Development
The following report compares books using the SERCount Rating (base on the result count from the search engine).
Rating: 3/5 from 10 reviews Superb work by a rare expertVery disappointing. NOT recommended at all.This is one of the most poorly written and disappointing books I have ever come across. The information is covered in a strange haphazard way, almost misleading in its treatment of topics. e.g. the 3rd chapter has a section titled 'Tuning Application Modules', where the author manages to cover tuning (1) CGI/Perl apps (2) PL/SQL, PSP apps (3) JSP/JServ apps AND (4) the use of Explain Plan, Tkprof tools etc ... ALL in a about 6 pages or so. Soon after in the book, he then devotes nearly 50 pages to (hold your breath) .. HTML !! But wait, another 40 pages of (.. guess .. nope, wrong again) JAVASCRIPT !!! The romp continues with a near 90 page foray into XML, followed by (and you'd never guess this one .. ) wireless development. Under 40 pages to that last topic of course, after all - understanding what 9iAS has to offer in way off wireless development should be a breeze once you've devoted 50 pages to mastering HTML, right ? And Java ? Yes, it makes its appearance in a chapter all by itself (c'mon, you caught on that trend by now hopefully). On the 4th page, the section 'J2xE' begins with this nugget - I greatly regret not checking the other reviews before I bought the book. As such, I have myself to thank for wasting my money. I hope you will not make the same mistake. This book is helpfulI am reading this book and I think it is interesting and helpful. | ||||||||||||||||||||
With hands-on examples and configuration parameters that will help you to be up and running, you can't easily beat this expert's advice from other sources.
I feel this book is like having a guru sit beside you and instructing you, while you go ahead and do the coding.
