Rating:  Summary: Good book but inadequate for exam. Review: Although I have found the books format to be easy to work with, unfortunately, there are some discrepencies that lead you to believe that you will do better on the exam than in reality.In one instance, the author states that you only need 63% to pass the Building Internet Applications I exam when in fact you need 75%. The sample questions and sample exam that comes with the CD is completely inadequate as study material for the actual exam. The exam is much more difficult. The book and CD give you a completely false sense of security. The only reason that I rate the book as 3 instead of 2 or lower is that the content is actually not too bad and if the test questions or anything having to do with the test was adequate, I would rate it as 4 or higher.
Rating:  Summary: Is the exam guide trust worthy? Review: I agree with most of the guys that to pass the fourth exam (Build Internet Applications II) you need to prepare more than that is covered by this exam guide. For example it didn't mention a single word about Oracle Report but it did appear in the fourth exam. Even for those part that IS mentioned in this guide, you need to take extra care about the property palette details to pass the exam. Also I'd like to say this book is a bit hard to read, though it did help me to pass my third exam. Good luck for your exam!
Rating:  Summary: GREAT BOOK Review: I am almost finished with this book. I already passed the first exam based on what I learned from the book. It looks like the second exam is going to be smooth sailing too. The author sent me the scripts for the book's example tables the same day I emailed him asking for them. Excellent response time! This book is the best investment I've made in a long time.
Rating:  Summary: First part good but second part not enough Review: I passed both exams end 2002 using this book and other materials. It is certainly a good preparation tool for the first exam but it is not enough for the second part. You need 46 correct answers on 60 questions which is one of the highest score needed for an Oracle exam. For at least 15 questions I had during my exams, the answer could not be found in this book. For some points of the exam Test Content Checklist which can be found on the Oracle web site, there is not even a word in this book. My advice : - use this book to have a general understanding of the subject. - do all the exercices of the book, it's really useful if you don't work with Forms everyday. - buy youself a Self Test Software. At least 15 questions I had during my exam were simular to the ones you can find in this preparation tool and there are not in the book. Good luck for your exam
Rating:  Summary: Excellent prep for exams Review: I passed both Forms exams using this book as my guide.
Rating:  Summary: REALLY CUTS TO THE CHASE! A GREAT LEARNING TOOL! Review: I've read every Developer book out there, and none of them explain things as clearly as this one. THE BEST!
Rating:  Summary: Downloads for the book Review: The book is easy to understand and very portable and straight forward
Rating:  Summary: Delivers the goods Review: This book contains just what it says it does: the info you need to pass the OCP Internet Developer exams. Does a very good job of explaining each concept. Highly recommended.
Rating:  Summary: Great coverage of Developer Forms exams Review: This book covers every element of the Forms exams. Compare the Oracle Candidate Guide to the book's table of contents, and every point is covered. The book gives thorough explanations and gives exercises to practice every point. It's the reason I passed the exams. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
Rating:  Summary: EXCELLENT PREP FOR THE OCP EXAMS Review: THIS BOOK DOES IT ALL. READ IT & DO THE EXERCISES, AND YOU WILL ROCK ON THROUGH THOSE DEVELOPER EXAMS. I PASSED BOTH! GREAT JOB.
