Brilliant and Horrible,
While this is all good and useful stuff, it also scatters the books focus, which eventually turns out to be its major problem. The topic orientation simply sucks. I would recommend reading the book in this order:
* Core knowledge
– Introduction, Chapter 1 and 3
– Chapter 4, 8, 9
– Optional: chap 10 (comparison to SOAP).
* REST service examples
– Chapter 5, 6 and 7
* REST clients
– Chapter 2 and 11
The service examples (chapter 5 – 7) should really have been one chapter. The client chapters does not show how to write clients against the provided example services, which is a major mistake. The core knowledge scattered throughout chapter 4, 8 and 9 (like the ATOM publishing protocol which is covered multiple places) should be collected and ordered.
So why the four starts ?. I have to admit that my annoyance with the books topical layout is trumped by the authors knowledge and their ability to pack a surprising number of usable facts into this book. So if you do not loose your way in their topical jungle then you will eventually come through as a REST maven.

|Good but pedantic and repetitious,
I’m still glad I read it but found the blabbing rather frustrating. My 2c.

2) The authors frequently make best practices statements without actually supporting them with evidence or otherwise explaining what makes them best practices.
3) There’s really only about 100 pages of content. The other three quarters of the book is repetition. For example, chapters 4 and 8 seem to be the same. There is even a specific example regarding content language that is presented in chapter 4 and not referred to but simply repeated in chapter 8.
This book could be obsoleted by a brief 3 part tutorial perhaps combined with a half-hour slide show.

|Could be a 5 star book, however….,
If author/publisher would make the Workspaces available to the reader, one might be able to actually see how all the code is wired together and make use of the material. Without the code samples to work with the book is pretty much a waste of money. There is no more information in this book as there is in the Oracle docs that are free from the oracle site.
Sorry but this book is not recommended.
