Designed for database developers, programmers and database administrators.
The only book on Oracle Forms that covers the product while showing readers how to create actual, working, powerful applications using Oracle Forms, updated to include all the new web-based and web-oriented features of Oracle Forms 6i. Oracle Forms is the single most important tool used to create sophisticated client/server applications for Oracle databases. Oracle proclaims that the Internet changes everything. And so it does. Recent versions of Oracle's Forms have moved the tool from strictly a client-server based product to a client-server and web-based product. This book updates the other Lulushi books to include Internet based development. This version is so current that it includes coverage right up to Forms version 6i (scheduled for release in Summer 2000). (Note: All other editions/versions of Lulushi's Forms books will remain in print, to accommodate the existing installed base.
