looks like a very comprehensive test prep:
I am about 1/3 through this book. I am supplementing the book with an online OCA course. So far, the book seems to provide comprehensive assistance for the OCA test. Of course, the acid test, will be the test itself. At this point, my only criticism is that the many code examples provided in the book, are apparently not available on-disk.
software is too troublesome:
This is a good book in many ways, but I have to subtract a star for the unacceptable hoops you have to jump thru if you want the electronic version. And even if you do install it, there are serious limits as to how you may use the material you just paid for. Sybex is one of these outfits that feel their customers are crooks, and they never let you forget it. Too bad, because some of their material is good. It's really tough to justify this product as a new purchase. If you can find it used, maybe... more info
Installation of the EBOOK:
I was unable to install the ebook from the cd rom to my computer due to the permission set on it. I tried all the installation guides that was provided to no avail. it's a pain because i can't read the ebook on my computer, for this reason i'm giving ZERO RATING! because this is part of the services that i paid for, it's not convenient reading text book in the office.
Excellently Package:
OCP:Oracle 10g Certification kit (IZO-042 and IZO -043) has been a very useful material for me. I appreciate Amazon for quick delivery of the material. I have been making several books purchases for the past one year. I have bought 5 differents IT related materials from Amazon. I develop absolute confident in them and wish to recommend them to any aspiring client. Seyi Ogunlaru
