(Ebook) Oracle and Java Development by Bulusu Lakshman ISBN 9780672321177, 0672321173

found the plan of this book to be well structured and a much needed guide to getting many aspects of Oracle and Java related technologies to work together. If you're already familiar with Oracle, plsql and Java then this is the place for everything to do with fitting them together, using and implementing them. It covers the lot from server pages & servlets to jdbc and handling java in the database. I'd have given this book 5 stars except I found reading the badly formatted code hugely irritating. Code in Chapter2 is unreadable but theres a general code formatting and indentation problem throughout which is annoying and time wasting (all carefully avoided in the amazon.com excerpt pages) Page 181 for example has a structure like this:- "try{if{}}catch{try{}catch{}}catch{}finally{try{}catch{}}}" Try reading this stuff when it's not indented properly. Pretty unscrupulous of Sams (publisher) not to have pulled this book. I'd still recommend it because it is so well written but consider waiting for the nth edition.
