Re: Web portion of Designer Tutorial

[Quoted] Your response should be "huh?!". In this little sentence is a ton of work. [Quoted] You'll want to read about setting up an Oracle product like WebDB (now [Quoted] called portal to go, I think), a web server and Apache. It is certainly not worth doing this for the lick and a promise you'll get from the tutorial. But if your long term goal is to use Designer to produce web applications you'll have to get into all this stuff. Start with the O'Reilly book on Oracle Web Applications - it's short enough to read this weekend - for a good overview. Then download whichever Oracle products you've decided to use and get a copy of Apache off the web. The book is slightly out of date - OAS has been replaced by iAS - but the general ideas are still valid.
