Oracle Database Online Documentation 11g Release 1 (11.1)

Essentials

The 2 Day Developer's Guide introduces basic technologies and concepts used in Oracle application development, for all programming languages.

Each 2 Day + Developer's Guide describes using a different development platform and these basic technologies to implement the same sample application: a Web-based application for viewing and modifying employee data for an imaginary company named "AnyCo Corp".

2 Day Developer's Guide

This document provides the entry point point to the database for application developers. It explains the general concepts behind development with the Oracle Database, introduces basic features of SQL and PL/SQL, and provides references to in-depth information elsewhere in the Oracle Database library.
