0Begin 2012 verscheen bij uitgeverij Packt Publishing het Oracle Service Bus 11g Development Cookbook – een zeer praktijkgerichte beschrijving van best practices en handige werkwijzen met OSB 11g. Dit boek is geschreven door vijf OSB experts, waarvan drie uit Nederland. Op donderdag 22 maart organiseert AMIS naar aanleiding van het verschijnen van dit boek een speciaal evenement, met de drie Nederlandse auteurs – Jan van Zoggel (RUBIX), Eric Elzinga (Oracle ACE, Xenta Consultancy en AMIS Associate) en Edwin Biemond (Oracle ACE, AMIS Services) – en diverse presentaties en demonstraties van de Oracle Service Bus in de praktijk. We delen exemplaren van het boek uit en spreken over de toekomst van OSB 11g en 12c. De bijeenkomst begint om 17.00 en duurt tot pakweg 21.00 uur. De toegang is zoals altijd gratis.

Review of Oracle Service Bus 11g Development Cookbook (Packt Publishing) by Edwin Biemond, Guido Schmutz, Eric Elzinga et. al.
3Recently I gained access to an electronic copy of the just released Oracle Service Bus 11g Development Cookbook, written by five authors – all experts on OSB and three personal acquaintances of mine. I was very interested in learning about the final result after hearing many intermediate comments during the writing process as well as reading the occasional remark on Twitter. Knowing Guido, Eric and Edwin and assuming the same expert level for the other two authors, I anticipated a very interesting read.
Below I will share my impressions from browsing through this solid 500+ page volume. Note: the homepage for the book can be found here: http://www.packtpub.com/oracle-service-bus-11g-development-cookbook/book .
Book Review: Oracle WebCenter 11g PS3 Administration Cookbook by Yannick Ongena
0A few months back, in August, I received an electronic copy of the book: “Oracle WebCenter 11g PS3 Administration Cookbook” by Yannick Ongena (Packt Publishing, 2011). I promised you then you write a review on it and now I finally deliver on that promise.
Main conclusion: if you want to get started with WebCenter 11g, this book will help you take your first steps on many of the most important areas of Web Center (Portal). The recipes in the book provide clear instructions on getting things going. Where the Web Center documentation can be a little overwhelming – the Web Center Developer’s Guide has 69 chapters and presumably over 1500 pages of content – Yannick’s book is clear, straightforward and easy to follow.
I am not exactly sure about the intended reader for the book. The title and Yannick’s introduction mention Administration and a technical person responsible for administration. Many recipes however discusses topics and tasks I would associate with developers. So presumably both administrators and developers will benefit from the book. Note that the traditional roles of developer, administrator and end user are not as clearly defined with Web Center Portal: business or end More >
Book review of: Getting Started With Oracle SOA Suite 11g R1: A Hands-On Tutorial
0Getting Started With Oracle SOA Suite 11g R1: A Hands-On Tutorial
Authors: Demed L’Her, Heidi Buelow, Jayaram Kasi, Manas Deb, Prasen Palvankar (aka Oracle Product Management for SOA Suite)
A hands-on tutorial is what the cover of the book promises, and that is exactly what you get. A quick, very hands-on introduction into the most important components in the SOA Suite 11g. In no time at all, readers will be able to get a composite application up and running. An application that leverages many of the essential features and functions in the SOA Suite.
Some books are primarily an introduction into a certain topic, with lots of theory, background and explanations of what, why and how. Other books are mainly reference material that you use to look things up when you need them. This book is neither – it offers very little in the way of explanation and background and it would be fairly useless as reference guide. It is however a very good way to get to know the SOA Suite – both design time and run time – and get a feel for how to develop for it and run applications in it.
The book contains a large number of informative screenshots and also provides the salient code snippets. It is very More >
Book Review: Processing XML Documents with Oracle JDeveloper 11g by Deepak Vohra
A few months ago I came across a relatively new book: Processing XML Documents with Oracle JDeveloper 11g by Deepak Vohra (370 pages, Packt Publishing, ISBN 978-1-847196-66-8, February 2009).
It is an interesting mix of topics, all having to do with XML and most directly related to JDeveloper. The topcis and chapters do not at all times seem logically bundled together (for example design time and run time seem to be somewhat strangely intermingled in the book) but they provide a lot of useful information to any developer working on applications that involve XML in some way (and which one does not today) using JDeveloper as an IDE or Oracle XDK 11g..
And JDeveloper 11g’s XML capabilities may not be entirely on par with single issue IDEs such as XMLSpy, it certainly does a very good job at many frequent and less frequent XML tasks. This book does a good job at showing the various XML specific features of JDeveloper – although it also fails to mention one or two. It contains many examples of writing Java code to process XML in some way, primarily using XDK 11g; those examples are not always really specifically related to JDeveloper 11g, as the code uses standard libraries that can More >
