3.0 out of 5 stars
A speedy introduction, a bit outdated,

This review is from: Google Guice: Agile Lightweight Dependency Injection Framework (FirstPress) (Paperback)
This is a thin book that was churned out quickly, like all in the Firstpress series. There are some errors, and the topic isn't covered in great depth. On the other hand, it's the only book out there strictly devoted to Guice. So if you really want to learn Guice quickly, this book will help.
On the other hand, the much-improved (and much-different) Guice 2.0 is currently in beta. As is Spring 3.0, which has a far richer feature set (some might call it absurdly large) than Guice; the two aren't exclusive, but if you use Spring, you should ask whether you really need to add Guice. And an upcoming book, Dependency Injection in Action (which you can buy an early eBook of through Manning's MEAP program) covers Guice more thoroughly. So if you do get this book, it might not be useful for very long. [Edit: Guice 2.0 has now been released. I'd avoid this book and learn the new version instead.]

1.0 out of 5 stars
Full of errors,
By JK Oregon (California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Google Guice: Agile Lightweight Dependency Injection Framework (FirstPress) (Paperback)
This book has the potential for being useful, but it contains numerous errors, typos, incorrect references, etc. In addition, the explanations are not helpful unless you already know Guice or Spring. So, if you're coming to Guice without having worked with DI framework before, this book will serve only to confuse you further.
Perhaps the final edition of this book will improve, but this version is very weak.
2.0 out of 5 stars
Poor introduction to both DI and Guice,

This review is from: Google Guice: Agile Lightweight Dependency Injection Framework (FirstPress) (Paperback)
I was new to DI when I was reading this book and it successfully managed to make even bigger mess in my head. Guice itself is good but online resources seemed much more understandable for me. And other thing that really made me angry about this book - I needed to setup quite complex set of jars (stuff like struts) just to be able to follow the book's code.Author somehow failed to explain Guice in nice and simple examples.
