Summary: Not enough to pass the OCP exam.
Review: This book does not cover the exam topic completely. The second part is nothing. This book could be a good introducing book on Internet application form building, but absolutely not for OCP preparation. This book gave not enough example to build Oracle forms with not clear explanation on important concepts, and usages. Persons get OCP only by this book actually does not learn some of Oracle.

Summary: Incomplete information and duplicate with another book
Review: This book is "copied" from Part 3 and 4 of Oracle Certified Professional Application Developer Exam Guide. The authors for both books are same. I wonder why this book was published separately. The content does NOT cover the checklist of OCP Internet Application Developer, nor OCP Application Developer. For exam 1Z0-132, this book misses lots of important information and is a poor reference! Given an example, a critical exam point, "Working with Oracle8 Ojbects in Forms Developer" is not mentioned at all. For exam 1Z0-122, it is a little bit better, but still not complete and slightly out of date. For example, "Defining Data Source" and "Working with Record Groups" are incomplete.

Summary: Pure Copy from the book Application Developer Exam Guide 007
Review: This book is a pure copy from the book Application Developer Exam Guide ISBN: 0072119756 from the same Author from chapters (12 - 23) that is actually made for 1Z0-121. Examples and test questions given in this book are too simple compared to the actual test questions. It is a clear commercialization. I you are thinking to pass an exam, try to get enough materials from some other source. This book doesn't cover enough materials to pass it, like it doesn't cover setting up global variables etc.

Summary: Pretty Decent !!!!
Review: This book is pretty decent for preparing for both the
forms exams.The main advantage of this book is that it allows
you to concentrate on the required stuff to preparing for the exam.But beware this alone won't be enough.Real time Practise and hard work are also required to see you through the exms.

Summary: Powerful Learning Tool
Review: This book is well thought out and well written. It teaches everything needed to pass the OCP exams. And it gets it across in a way that is easy to absorb. A real bargain!

Summary: Good book but inadequate for exam.
Review: This book might have covered the exam material in sufficient detail back when the pass marks were set in the low 60% range, but now they are set at 75%+ this book is not adequate. This is particularly true for the second exam. At first glance the book appears to cover all the topics, but it will not give you the level of understanding required to ensure a pass in the exams. Study the book, try some STS exam questions, and you will see what I mean.
Consider buying additional material to supplement this for study purposes.

Summary: This book is incomplete
Review: This book only covers about 2/3 of the material on the exam. It covers those 2/3 pretty well, but if you use nothing else to prepare for the exam, you will be in for a rude surprise when you take the exam. There are a handful of errors in the practice tests and some poor explanations, but this is a good book as PART of your preparation for this exam.

Summary: Excellent prep for exams
Review: This book provided me with an excellent resource for the OCP exams. The author keeps you interested in the book by asking questions after each key concept is covered, as well as providing you with database objects to give you a "hands on approach" to learning how to build a custom application. The chapter review questions and chapter summary provides a condense version of each chapter. The CD-ROM has practice questions that you will see on the actual exam. For those of you taking the exam, I recommend going through this book and then purchase pratice tests from Self Test Software. With this book and the practice tests, you will ace the exams.
