Good book for 1Z0-052???

Greetings. I've often used Sybex books for passing technical exams, but it would appear as though they dont have a book for this particular exam. Can anyone recommend one?

Have you been through this book?yes.
Any good/ bad to report?Amazon is also good to look at for reviews but I dont always buy from them.
The bonus test on the CD can be dog to get access to.
Threre's probably a cuple of mistakes also ... but its not the worst in this regard.
May not go into same depth as Sybex on a couple of items; but Sybex goes a little over the top sometimes.
....Become aware of [www.oracle.com/education/certification] and locate you certifcation and exam there and check occasionally for updates; the exam will be reveriifed for 11gR2 at some point in a few months and their may be updates then (the book wont be updated).
Read [http://blogs.oracle.com/certification/2009/05/the_route_you_choose.html]
The book may focus a little too much on the exam and not enough on practice. You really need to get in lots of real practice.
Make sure you can access the original online documentation as well: [http://docs.oracle.com]

  • Good book for OCA

    Can anyone suggest good book for Oracle Application Server OCA

    I can tell you from personal experience that it is extraordinarily difficult to write a technical book with zero defects. Spell-checkers and grammar checkers produce huge numbers of false positives when looking for standard (i.e. non technical) errors. Technical errors are easy to introduce -- forget to add a 'Not' in a sentence, or something similar -- and hard to detect afterward. When I read through my study guides looking for errors, I tend to see what I meant to write.
    That said, such defects are normally a tiny fraction of the information contained within certification manuals. A couple of reviews on the Oracle Press 1Z0-052 book written by John Watson mention a couple of errors and then imply the book is filled with more. I've read the book and it is very informative. It contains hundreds of pieces of information and contains about ten errors -- all mentioned in the errata on the McGraw Hill site. The books is good preparation for the text and for learning the basics of being an Oracle DBA.
    As Aman indicated, using more than one source is a good way to help to detect inaccuracies. I believe in always using multiple sources and the documentation is generally a good option for that.

    nehaReading your post I am concerned, perhaps for no reason, that you may be targetting more at passing exams and gaining certifications rather than gaining Oracle knowledge and experience.
    The properly perparing DBA candidate attempting to take the exam 'soon' should have calibre to be aware
    - http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/homepage
    - there is an equivalent book by Sybex (Searchable for on major booksellers).
    - Courses at education.oracle.com
    - Authorised practice Tests: http://www.oracle.com/global/us/education/certification/sts.html
    - Training from Oracle ... http://www.oracle.com/education
    Be aware there may be offers of unauthorised learning material ....

    (Posts like this one often encourages spamming by dishonourable certification unsafe braindump promotors).
    Unlike 1z0-051the 1z0-052 exam treated as a 'high stakes' exam.
    'Easy' is relative; however i suspect many would find 1z0-051 easier than 1z0-052.

  • What's a good book for getting started?

    I've been doing web design in HTML and ColdFusion for almost 3 years. It's clear that ColdFusion is on it's way out and I need to learn J2EE/Java/JSP etc. I have a few questions:
    Java is a term I've heard associated with C++ and other types of programming as well as Web design. Are the Java/C++ Java and the Web Java basically the same type of language? Is the Web Java and JavaScript the same thing? I'm very confused!
    What is a good book for getting these types of questions answered and getting started in J2EE/Java/JSP? There are quite a few variations of script languages out there and I want to make sure I learn the right stuff, ie the stuff that employers are going to be needing.
    Thanks!

    Here is a free online version of a good book:
    http://pdf.coreservlets.com/Core-Servlets-and-JSP.pdf
    Print it off or read from the screen. Otherwise, there are several good Java books out there. What I would do is go to the bookstore and thumb through a few books. Depending on what type of book you want (example based or theory) find the books that you think would satisfy your learning style. Write down the names and authors, go home and buy them used online at Amazon for tremendous discounts. This way you can buy several versus just one.

  • Suggest a good book for learning?

    Hey, all.
    Trying to get into the automating/scripting thing as I've started a new job that has to do a lot of versions of similar animations/illustrations. I'm no programmer, but have had some success with simple AppleScripts in Illustrator and Photoshop, but After Effects doesn't like to play nice with AS. So I figure I may as well focus my efforts on ExtendScript/JavaScript to work with all the apps, be cross-platform, plus help with my limited Expressions knowledge.
    So can anyone suggest some good books for learning the JavaScript language? I've done online tutorials, which have helped a little, but just a big ol' consolidated JavaScript book, teaching the structure and syntax from the beginning (again, not a programmer by trade) would be best for me. Thing is, 95% of the books I've looked at are focused on web design, which I'm not that interested in. I'll use one if the core JavaScript teachings are well-presented and I can just ignore the web stuff; just don't want to buy a book that I'm only going to read half of and not learn everything I need to.
    All suggestions welcome, and thanks in advance.

  • Regarding Good book for Oracle Service Bus 11g

    Hi All,
    What is the good book for Oracle Service Bus 11g in the below list(or You can also specify any book other than from below list)?

    2)Oracle Service bus in 21 days

    Can yOu help me out which is the good book for OSB?

    Hi Deilby,
    Thank You for your reply.
    According to my understanding(I don't know whether it is correct or not),If you want to have full-fledged OSB development,we need to have eclipse.
    If you just need to have routing and transformation along with SOA suite development,We can use OSB console .
    Can You also look into this below SOA forums thread with SOA-OSB questions? If I have 'Oracle
    Service Bus 11g Development Cookbook' , Can I answer all those questions?
    https://forums.oracle.com/thread/2559964?tstart=0
    My intention is clear,I want to have full-fledged OSB development information(important components) and that leads to have good exposure to face questions.
    Can You help me out to clarify my understanding and recommend the book according to that?
    Note: I already worked on SOA Suite.I worked on OSB console. I think whatever we can  do with OSB eclipse development the samething we can do with OSB console along with SOA suite.
    Can You clarify on this?

  • Suggest good book for J2EE Design Pattern.

    Is there any good book for J2EE Design pattern? I know Head First Design Pattern book, but is focuses oncore java. I want to learn in detail with examples J2EE design pattern.
    Please suggest good books.
    Thanks in advance.
    Rahul.

    most j2ee patterns are discredited now. they were mostly workarounds for deficiencies in ejb 1 & 2 specs.
    "core j2ee patterns" is your best bet, but take it with a grain of salt.
    better to learn spring, IMO:

  • Good book for learning pl/sql quickly

    Please suggest me a good book that covers all aspects of pl/sql in depth.
    Thanks in advance. :-)

    A good book for learning PL/SQL quickly?
    That is not a function of the book. That is a function of your ability to learn and understand new concepts. No book can make you learn "faster".
    Also, even before trying to learn PL/SQL, there are concepts and fundamentals to understand. Specifically:
    - [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14220/toc.htm]Oracle® Database Concepts
    - [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14251/toc.htm]Oracle® Database Application Developer's Guide - Fundamentals
    - [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14261/toc.htm]Oracle® Database PL/SQL User's Guide and Reference
    And after that, also have a look at Application Developer's Guide - Large Objects, Application Developer's Guide - Object-Relational Features. Not to mention the SQL Reference and the PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference guides.

    Just remember that this book is for JC 2.1 not 2.2.1. I have still found this book good for explaining the fundamentals of Java Card development. It just doesn't cover all of the JC 2.2.x API's.

  • Good book for JSP

    Hi all
    Can u pls just me a good book for JSP especially for beginners other than "Core Servlets and JSP" by HALL .The customers review for this book in amazon.com is very poor .Pls help me.
    Thanx in advance.Bye

    When I went to Amazon to look at the reviews I saw that Hall's book got 4.5/5.0 stars based on 217 reviews.
    Three reviews are listed in detail, and two of those are negative, so I can see where the OP got his negative view of this book.
    But all 214 of the others couldn't ALL be wrong, could they?
    I have "Core Servlets" and "More Core Servlets", and I think both are very good. If the OP is a newcomer to servlets and JSPs, I know these will be a good enough introduction.
    These books do suffer from the same problem that a lot of computer books do: advancing standards. JSP and JSTL have moved on since Marty Hall wrote these books, so he's not always 100% up to date. But the basic information is well done.
    If the OP still objects to Hall's texts, I'd recommend getting a servlet/JSP book that discusses the latest standard, if possible.
    Jason Hunter's O'Reilly book is also good, in my view. - MOD
