Review Of IBM WebSphere eXtreme Scale 6 by Packt Publishing

This is a quick few notes on a new book I've started reading through, as per the title of this blog post. The general prognosis is that this is a very respectable piece of material, specifically I like:-

• The fact that the book has been reviewed by the chief technical architect behind WebSphere eXtreme scale, Billy Newport, this would suggest that technical content is pretty water tight.
  
  
• The author has chosen to write the book in such a way that it is highly accessible to its audience. By this I mean that Anthony Chaves explains WebSphere eXtreme scale from first principles and provides coding examples throughout the book which do not mandate the use of the WebSphere application server.
  
  
• The book contains chapters that represent all the main use case areas for the product culminating in a final "Putting it all together" chapter.

All in all this is a very good book, and I would think that anyone wishing to cover the same subject material would struggle to write something that is more comprehensive than this.
