This course teaches students how to use Oracle Forms Builder 11g to rapidly build scalable, high-performance applications for the Web.

Students build a sample Forms application for an order entry system, using a variety of GUI controls. They learn to enhance the appearance and functionality of the basic form by using PL/SQL trigger, JavaBeans, and Pluggable Java Components.
 

Students learn to replace or supplement default transaction processing. They use WebUtil to interact with the client machine, and also learn to pass values from one form to another. They learn how to validate user input, control navigation, and display meaningful messages to users.
 

Emphasis is placed on designing objects and code for reuse.
