DBMS is very miserable

If you try to Learn Oracle, this is the way to go. the book introduce you to basic Relational Database concepts also provide you with the Application Express Web Development.

Learn and start with Oracle is a snap with the Book, the samples work great and the Book can be bought for your OS [ Linux or Windows ].

For a while I feel intimidated for so many books on Oracle this surely is the book that will make you start working and administering your first Oracle Database. Medium and Expert users can use it as Freebie and Development Tool.

There is a great need for new ideas for extracting meaningful scientific information from the vast quantity of satellite data currently being collected about Earth. The ideas in this book will contribute significantly to this effort.

This book should be in the library of every advertising and marketing professional today. Written by one of the true pioneers of one-to-one marketing, it explains the techniques of building, using and profiting from a database. No one knows the subject better than Baier.

I use this book to teach beginners. Very colorful, 1-2 page per task, visual (even the menu bars are pulled down) descriptions of all tasks/functions. One friend of mine was insulted because it made excel look simplistic -- exactly what a beginner wants!

All you need do to see how usefull this book is is to vist ,

[NDN Logo] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hybrid HTML Design by Jean Warner and Kevin Ready New Riders Publishing, 1996, 412 pages, paperback, $35.00 by Ruth Mountaingrove You've just put your web page on Netscape and it looks beautiful. But have you checked it out on America on Line or Compuserve? Yeech! What has happened to your beautiful design? Where have the buttons gone? Why is everything on the left side or in a straight line with no breaks? Why has the picture you put in changed to that size? Where are the frames? The answers to these questions and the solutions, as much as is possible, are in the book Hybrid HTML Design. Here you will learn what tags to use to accommodate not only Netscape which is probably the most complex and developed browser but you will also be able to make it possible for aol'ers and other more primitive browsers to enjoy your work. HTML is the abbreviation for HyperTextMarkup Language. A feature I like very much is the step by step explanations with photographs of browsers showing you what each browser will do to your web page. The HTML document behind each page is printed out. Tags are explained. Browsers that don't recognize HTML tags are illustrated with photographs showing what that looks like. Not pretty. The browsers dealt with are Netscape Navigator 2 and 3, Internet Explorer 2, Oracle Power Browser 1, Hot Java Alpha 1, NCSA Mosaic 2, Compuserve Spry Mosaic, America On-line 2.4, Prodigy, Cyberdog, PointCast, the Lynx browser and others. While you may be tempted, as I was, to buy PageMill 1, I realized as soon as I got it that I still needed to learn some HTML because PageMill is limited, They admit this in their user guide which accompanies the disk. The book also deals with server issues assuming of course you want to be your own server. This implies that you are doing a lot of web work and need your own space on the net. Accompanying the book is a Hybrid HTML Design CD-ROM with Gif Builder, Debabelizer lite, Plug-ins including Shockwave for Freehand, and Director, Crescendo, Future Splash, Photo Bubbles. There is also Microsoft Internet Explorer. Also included are demos of the Oracle Power Browser, Micromedia Director 5, and Shockwave. Shareware of BBedit, BBedit lite, World Wide Web Weaver, Adobe PageMill 1 and HTML Assistant Pro 2. Demos, meaning you can play but not save. In addition there are Adobe PhotoShop 3.05, Illustrator 6, Fetch 1.2, Premier 4.0.1, PageMaker 6 and much more, like conversion programs, and lots more information on Hybrid HTML Design. The book and CD-Rom are an excellent combination. The demos make it possible to have hands-on experience before buying expensive software. Janine Warner and Kevin Reading have created a well thought out tool for the webster. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ruth Mountaingrove is an avid computer user, teacher of Senior Citzens, writer for Senior News and creator of her own web site: Web Page of a 74 Year Old Woman ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Digital News Update * Redwood Country Update * Battling Scientology: Interview with Grady Ward * Back Issues

This book was purchased as a text for a class I was taking. It is a very easy to read text and goes into Hypercard quite extensively. I would highly recomend it for anyone wishing to learn HyperCard

HyperStudio for Terrified Teachers was just the lifesaver I needed when attempting my first HyperStudio project with my fifth grade students. Armed with false knowledge after a two day HyperStudio workshop, I foolishly attempted a science ocean project in which I would have "drowned at sea" had I not had my "raft" or this fabulous book to rescue me. Not only are topics arranged in an organized manner that are easy to find, but computer screen displays are printed, allowing for step-by-step planning of lessons for students.In the chapter entitled Animals, I learned a more simplified format for my students'ocean project. I have since then ventured into "new waters" and used this book to guide me through reading projects and Open House introductions for partents. I find that I am no longer a terrified HyperStudio teacher--as long as I have my book in tow to bail me out when I find that I am sinking.
