4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent content, average language, July 12, 2008
By 
Felipe Coury (Campinas, SP Brazil) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Definitive Guide to Terracotta: Cluster the JVM for Spring, Hibernate and POJO Scalability (Expert's Voice in Open Source) (Paperback)
This book really presents an in-depth coverage of the power of Terracotta, backed by real world how-to examples.

The only thing that could be better is the language. Sometimes the concept is explained in a very dense language upfront, so by the time you get to the example, you get a little lost and need to go back and re-read some paragraphs.

Besides that, it's one of those examples where the content compensates the shape. A must have if you are looking forward to turning you application into a clustered solution.

3.0 out of 5 stars Adequate, but.., June 13, 2009
By 
bloogid (san francisco) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Definitive Guide to Terracotta: Cluster the JVM for Spring, Hibernate and POJO Scalability (Expert's Voice in Open Source) (Paperback)
Adequate coverage of the Terracotta technology. Lackluster writing, poor examples. There are many many complications and minefields to using this wonderful technology in practice, and this book skips lightly over them.

The training courses at Terracotta offices are HIGHLY recommended, if you can afford them. You may then use this book and the online docs as a useful supplement. Be aware that much in the book or online docs is rapidly made obsolete or misleading given the quick evolution of the code.
