Hear what people are saying:

Marlene from Philadelphia, PA says:
I have all of Mr. Ault's books, and this one is one of his best works. It contains loads of working scripts and an Internet code download to get the working code. It also has excellent explainations of the concepts and internals from the output of the scripts.

This is definitely not a beginner book, and it is as complex as any of the other advanced Oracle books. If you want super-deep details, this book is for you!
