 Finally, a developer book worth having on my bookshelfJan 03, 2000
By Joe Strano
There are plenty of beginner books on the market, and some are actually helpful. There was one question that was never answered though -- "OK, I can build a block. Now what? " Peter and Paul have answered this question perfectly. So well in fact that the 1 copy I bought for the office is not enough. This book has become mandatory for my employees to have in their library.Top this off with the interview questions they provide for managers and this book is the most well rounded book to date. If you, or any of your people, are using Developer for your projects, this book is a must.

 Weak if you want Advanced ReportsOct 23, 2000
By SomeGuyInPhoenix
I purchased this book unseen it appears to be very good for Forms, but it contains very little information on Reports, none of which I would consider "Advanced" . I do not develope Forms, so this was another waste of money on Oracle Press books.

Great for forms, not so much for reportsDec 16, 2002
By Travis Henning

This is a solid reference book for those doing primarily Forms development, but it lacks quite a little in the Reports department. If you're buying it for Reports development, as I did, you'll be disappointed. I have yet to find a very good Reports reference. That said, this is probably the best one out there. The book contains something like 70% - 30% Forms info to Reports info (and that may be a little generous). It does have a few good examples and is an easy read.

Reports Section is VERY WEAK !Dec 13, 2000
By SomeGuyInPhoenix
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 :(

Required readingJan 20, 2000
By John C Hopkins
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.
