We consider the half linear Sturm-Liouville problem

on the interval [0,1] subject to separated boundary conditions (which may be eigenparameter dependent at x = 1) and use Prüfer techniques to produce an oscillation theory for this problem. Both right definite (r > 0) and left definite (r of both signs) cases are discussed.
