A good starting point but....
I found the book a good introduction to Oracle Portal and worth a read. However, the book has a number of bugs, inconsistencies between the text and the CD and missing information in the install section in chapter 2. It's also quite out-of-date now (as at 15-Apr-02). Also, the website for the book also does not contain the bug fixes, a big disappointment. Worth reading but be prepared for some frustration... When the examples do not work, try skipping them and you may find the answer later in the book.

Advanced Techniques covered too short
If you build an portal, then you will have to integrate several 'j2ee'-applications. In the 'Bible' you'll find minimal help on 7 pages (out of 955!) to integrate JSPs and Servlets as portlet. The examples presented are partially buggy (e.g. p839 step 13. or p858 step 11. does not mention debuglevel, but step 13 shows the test page).

Oracle9iAS Portal Bible Rocks My World
Again James Millbery and Rick Greenwold have taken Oracle's cutting edge technology and made it easy to understand in this succinct and concise book. This is indeed the cookbook to come up to speed on this topic. The book is well written and full of great examples. I strongly recommend this book as a 'must read' for all Oracle Portal Developers.
