Summary: Conceptual Overview
Comment: The book provides a good overview of the JDeveloper product including some of the future direction. It is primarilly made up of exercises which walk you through using the most important feature of JDeveloper, the BC4J wizards. The main reason for using JDeveloper is as an Oracle database web application tool and this introduces the overall concepts. While the book is pretty basic on coverage of web techniques (book on JDeveloper not web), it still covers many concepts through the exercises.It is SIGNIFICANTLY better than last JDeveloper book which was useless.

Summary: Spent my money
Comment: for the promising title, I bought the book immediately after the release. I hoped to find much about the web technologies, esp. JSP applications, but found only 50 pages telling the same thing with the help files. Again waiting for another release of JDeveloper for a new book.. I think the book is specially written for the Developer users for the migration, it has far missing topics..

Summary: Not So Good
Comment: The flow of topics is not so good. Chapter 2 was out of place. Choice of examples was also not good. It does not Cover EJB or CORBA objects only covers BC4J. Hands on trials will allow you to deploy and test specific examples, but you dont gain enough knowledge from the experiment to be comfortable with JDeveloper.

Summary: Worthwhile book for Oracle Developers
Comment: Oracle Press just released new JDeveloper Book for version 3.2. It is written by Dr. Paul Dorsey and Peter Koletzke. Both Paul and Peter had published many books for Developer and Designer .This Book is ideal for someone with a Developer background who wants to jump into the Java World. In this book, the authors supply comparison notes between JDeveloper and Oracle Forms technology. The book also covers topics such as, JSP, Servlets, EJB, BC4J, Applets, Deployment architecture, security, etc. I started reading the book, and it looks pretty good. Happy reading!

Summary: Timely & helpful
Comment: I've had the book since it's been out (only 3 days) but this reference has already proven to be of great value. It was extraordinarily accurate and timely in it's helpful topics.It's written with common sense and in a down to earth delivery style that is most refreshing in the technical genera. I especially appreciated the cookbook style examples with helpful screen figures, showing how the tool looks in each. I've recommended this reference to my colleages and plan on looking for further editions from these authors.
