Rating:  Summary: A Most Necessary and Definitive Book Review: Every so often a single book will define the way a tool will be used by everybody for a long time. 'Developer Advanced Forms and Reports' is that kind of book.As a longtime Oracle DBA and a long-ago SQL*Forms developer, I was called upon to create an infrastructure for Oracle-based applications development. I knew all the Forms concepts, but desperately needed as quick a jumpstart as I could get to make it all work together. This book provided that jump with detailed instructions and examples. I really think this book will become _the_ standard methodology for Oracle Developer developers everywhere. Congratulations - and many thanks - to Dr. Dorsey and Mr. Koletzke for a job very well done.
Rating:  Summary: Not enought technical information Review: I am 12 years-old, and I play with Oracle Forms. Even I did not find enough advanced material.
Rating:  Summary: This is a very good book if you want to become an expert Review: I bought this book 2 days before my interview. It was very useful. I passed the intervew at got the job. This book is what I recommend you to buy if you are serious to become an expert of Oracle Developer. Bang Dinh
Rating:  Summary: Way too simple and has errors Review: I made the mistake of buying this book in hopes of learning deveoper. Wrong. This book is way too simplistic, and it has an error on almost every page. I wish I had passed on this one.

Rating:  Summary: Weak if you want Advanced Reports Review: I purchased this book unseen <I know better now> it appears to be very good for Forms, but it contains very little information on Reports, none of which I would consider "Advanced" <The reason i bought the book>. I do not develope Forms, so this was another waste of money on Oracle Press books.

Rating:  Summary: Good for Intermediates Review: I've found the book useful, though about 50% of it was not new for me. I realise that for another person not so deep in the topic, the book would be a real treasure.
Rating:  Summary: Reports Section is VERY WEAK ! Review: If you are looking to learn Advanced Reports don't look here. The book is mostly on Forms, and the information on Reports is not advanced. Another waste of money for me :(
Rating:  Summary: Required reading Review: READ THIS BOOK. You may understand what subclassing means and how object libraries work, but you'll have a hard time being productive if you don't understand how they best work together.Wish I had this book before beginning my latest project. It has changed the way I look at Forms and Reports development.
