Oracle Forms - where is the current documentation?

I just spent far too long wandering around Oracle's website looking for the latest developer documentation for Oracle Forms (10g or 11g versions preferably). The closest I came was this page, but none of the links I clicked actually brought me to useful documentation.

http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/10g_forms.html

I'm looking for information on actually building apps with Oracle Forms. Things like how to use the IDE, the PL/SQL syntax for creating forms, the built-in APIs, etc.

Anyone have a better link to the Forms documentation?

A good starting point for most (all?) Oracle docs is the Oracle Documentation Site at http://docs.oracle.com.

For the Forms documentation, follow this navigation path:

  1. Navigate to the Oracle Documentation site
  2. click on "Fusion Middleware"
  3. click on "Developer Tools"
  4. Scroll down to "Traditional Oracle Tools" and click on "Forms". This takes you to

i believe that Oracle Forms has now become APEX (Oracle Application Express).

To simplify, APEX is web version of Forms.

I think Oracle provides some ways to translate from Forms to APEX.

So you will find more informations about using APEX.

EDIT : Forms isn't in fact replaced by APEX (even though i think it should ;) ) And here is a link to the technical documentation :

Finally found something, here:

http://www.oracle.com/webapps/online-help/forms/10g/

No reference to it from the Oracle pages, but found a direct link to a page on some forum post. Really sad how hard it was to find.
