Synopsis for Oracle Forms 11g training course

Some of us (no names, no pack drill) remember Forms when it was 2.3 and it was run on a VT220 terminal with a green screen and no mouse, just keystrokes and tabbing between fields … happy days!!! Now it nearly thirty years on, it's Forms 11g and wow what a difference, it's in colour and we can use a mouse but there is more to Forms than that and this is why we have a five day course on it.

Oracle Forms is a GUI product which is used by Developers to give Users access to the Database with high level control on what they can or can't do, primarily is to access data but we have come across instances where DBAs use Forms to run the Database. Forms 11g the development tool is installed on the client machine, however in order to test the module the Developer must run it via a browser, we bring all the necessary equipment for this to work, including the Database machine (we never need access to your Network or indeed the Wi-Fi).

As already mentioned, this is a five day course and we offer it in a few different ways; Onsite at your venue, in-house at our venue in Swansea, plus we can set up a training facility close to the location of your choosing, we can also offer one to one training for this course, there is no minimum number for the training but we tend to cap the numbers to 12 or less, in fact sometimes to maximise the learning experience we sometimes talk to clients to split the course into two lots of six, but ultimately that’s your decision.

This webpage gives you access to the full index of the course so that you see how much we fit into the course, there are plenty of exercises during the week so that Delegates can practice the techniques we have introduced and demonstrated, each Delegate has an individual workstation for the duration, although we sometimes have requests for people to work together, the manual which comes with the course is theirs to use and keep following the course. By the end of the course the Delegates will know how to create a series of Oracle Forms and to place them within a menu system.

Although no experience of Forms is necessary before the training, because of the nature of the product we do recommend that only people who have attended our SQL and PLSQL or have a lot of experience in both these languages are placed on the course. We of course would be only too pleased to quote you for supplying these courses too and if they are booked together we offer substantial discounts.

We can also give training on earlier versions of Forms just tell our training advisor and they will give you advice on the version to use.

Our contact details are on this and every page, we can prepare a number of different scenarios for training if necessary and all quotations are guaranteed for six months.
