New To Oracle8i Development, This Is Your Solution

This is just the book I have been searching for. Having graduated from the SMU Oracle Program, developing an application on a step by step basis was my solution for learning Oracle8i. I highly recommended this book to anyone who is new to Oracle8i and wants to go thru an Oracle8i development (DB, tablespaces, tables, indexes, triggers, forms, reports, html, java, sql, pl/sql, and more). Need I say more. Dano, you have done an excellent job and keep up the good work. I rest my case.

Finally the application lifecycle from scratch.

This book is great! With so many manuals out on the market about Oracle that are only for true developers it is about time there is one for people. This book provides a true picture of the application lifecycle from design, development, testing, and implementation. The author not only provides simple examples he gives us a taste of the other more complex books on the market with the actual SQL statements that are used to build the application. I really like how the author shows the next step to Java for Oracle, and after reading this book I am able to take the next step too.

Training Employees

I have about 20 employees that I need get up to speed in a short amount of time. Dan's book; Oracle8i from scratch is great. It takes you from the beginning to the end of a project. I think I went through 12 Oracle books before I picked up Dan's. I read throught the first five pages and knew that this was the perfect book to train new employees. I think most important not only are my employees learning, but they are really enjoying building a project using Oracle 8i from scratch.

Excellent !

I am a power user and I needed to learn Oracle for a project. The book was just perfect to have working examples to work from - I rate it really highly and recommend it to anyone involved in this field. Hope to see more on this.

Best in class beginners Oracle 8i primer.

Given that this book came out late in the product cycle for Oracle81 its no wonder that it is the best in class primer for sales people and dp professionals new to Oracle81. The examples ALL work and the style and presentation are easy to follow and are based on real world installation and development. The structure of and presentation of a development project from business requirement to application maintenance and tuning is a practice that other authors should be willing to adopt to add clarity and understanding to people new to the environment. It needs a CD for the examples. This book would be a great classroom text, especially if accompanied by a good reference manual. Thumbs up to Mr. Hotka.
