http://www.degenio.com/2007/08/oracle-forms-present-future/ Enterprise IT Tools and Thoughts, dealing mainly with Oracle Developer tools (Forms, Reports, APEX) Wed, 25 Jan 2012 00:27:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 http://www.degenio.com/2007/08/oracle-forms-present-future/comment-page-1/#comment-370 Hafed Mon, 03 Nov 2008 12:09:52 +0000 http://bakore.info/?p=17#comment-370 You are right. It seems to me that Oracle management does not want to carry on with the Forms framework. I have been teaching forms and Designer for a while and I can attest to the fact that students become very productive with Forms in a very short time. No need to learn javascript and those other languages. Now, I can tell you that it is quite easy to have a framework based on Forms and which will display straight to a web page instead of an applet. I guess that Oracle does not want to try that (even though I suspect they have done that internally) because they already have bet everything on JDeveloper. Anyway, don't be scared for now. Oracle Forms will be around for a long time and with JDapi around, you can even recreate an IDE to do whatever you want. You are right.

If it is done, no existing oracle forms developers like me need to learn many languages like javascript, jsp,asp etc etc.(Im still confused about this languages and even scared of them) I guess ,oracle is losing its largest user base ... forms developers by confusing itself and others by introducing lot of tools and frame works .
