Oracle offers a range of tools and deployment options for Internet computing. Different types of developers and applications require different toolsets.
Enterprise application developers need a declarative model-based approach. Oracle Designer and Oracle Forms Developer provide this solution. This course focuses on how you can use Oracle Forms Developer to rapidly build scalable, high-performance applications for the Internet and then deploy the applications with Oracle Forms Services.
Component developers need different tools and methods. For these developers, Java is the language of choice. Oracle’s solution is JDeveloper.
For Web site developers and content publishers who want to build self-service dynamic Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) applications for Web sites, Oracle Portal provides an easy-to-use development environment that resides entirely inside an Oracle database. Portal provides a browser-based environment from development through deployment of an application.
For Management Information System (MIS) developers and end users, there is the Oracle Business Intelligence toolset. Oracle Reports Developer, Oracle Reports Services, Oracle Discoverer, and Oracle Express provide the whole range for reporting, analysis, and trending facilities.
