Oracle 10g Forms II: Customize Internet Applications Course

This course is designed for web application developers and designers. Topics include; building client-side triggers, integrating multiple Oracle10g modules into enterprise applications, and integrating forms logic with database server objects.

This course applies to the certification as an "Oracle PL/SQL & Forms Developer". Specifically, this course considers subjects included within the examination entitled "Oracle Forms Developer: Build Internet Applications".

This course is designed for web application developers and designers, as well as their management, who will be developing and customizing complex Internet applications using the Oracle10g ODS Forms product.

Upon completion of this course, the participant will be able to:
> Build client-side triggers and program units to customize forms applications
> Dynamically control form objects and behavior during runtime
> Take advantage of built-in functions and procedures
> Write efficient and well-tuned client-side logic
> Integrate multiple Oracle10g modules into enterprise applications
> Exploit object-oriented features to maximize reuse of components
> Apply specialized techniques such as hierarchical trees, procedure data blocks, and timers
> Integrate forms logic with database server objects into a cohesive solution
