Summary: An Essential Book for Designer Users
Review: Clear, focused, full of tips and techniques this book guides you generating forms and reports (even complex ones). It has adequate examples and enough discussion to assist you in choosing which technique fits best.

Relevant for versions 2 and 6. Specifically covers generation. So you may wish to check Oracle Designer Handbook if need help using the tool in other aspects rather than generation.

Summary: A bible for Des2K Developer
Review: I'm 3/4 through the book and still impress with the quality of the contents. The authors did an outstanding job in explaining the many intricacies of Designer as well as down-to-earth examples. I wish there was a book like this 2 years ago when I started doing Des2k works. This is a definite Bible for anyone doing Des2k work. Kudos to the Authors.

Summary: MUST READ - HURRAY for a non-introductory book.
Review: I've been using Designer for four years and still found good information on poorly documented properties, such as the meaning of the layout styles for reports item groups. GOOD tips, EASY TO READ. The best Designer book for generation BY FAR, and I've read all the others.

Summary: Compulsory reading material for Forms/Reports generation
Review: It is unfortunate that a book of this kind has not been set in print before now. Fortunately, the book is an excellent publication written by people who know their subject very well. As a seasoned Oracle developer, Technical Consultant with Cap Gemini, I believe this book should be compulsory reading material for novice and senior developers involved in Forms, Reports, Server and MS Help Generation. Aside from the extent of coverage to Forms generation, over 700 pages, the content was thorough, extremely practical and easy to read. I cannot comment on the reporting generation section as this is not my forte, however, with approximately 200 pages, this is more in-depth than any other publication I have encountered. The only down side is that the authors do not provide a discussion of the Web and VB Generators.

Summary: One of the best
Review: This is one of the best organized and most clearly written technical books that I have ever read. The authors clearly put a lot of effort into making a quality book. This is refreshing to find with so many IT books that are obviously written in a rush to "scoop" other authors.

Be sure that you know what you are buying. This book spends the first few chapters laying the groundwork and describing the application generation process in general. Then they get into the details of generating Oracle applications using designer with the goal being 100% generation. If CASE methods for application generation using Oracle Designer is not what you are looking for then keep looking, that is exactly and and only what you will find in this book.
