This book is a great guide for beginners, but also provides enough detailed, practical examples to quickly help the reader implement what they are learning. The explanations are clearly written and easy to follow and the code samples are very instructive. Overall, highly recommended!

I'm the Chief Architect for IBM WebSphere eXtreme Scale product. I helped review this book and provide information to Anthony on the content. It's turned out very well I think. It was important that the book educate people on the patterns/anti patterns for using In Memory Data Grids and not just be your typical product documentation book. I think Anthony has succeeded very well in this regard. I'd recommend the book to any IBM customers using the product as a good introduction to the product which will get them up to speed and productive faster.

It was a cold fall night, the wind was blowing, the rain was a deluge of despair threatening to wipe out any chance of hope for a brighter future. Until out of the darkness I saw a light. In that light I found this book. Confused at first until it I let it change my life the book burned with passion in my hands. The clouds parted, the sun shone, my path was clear to me. This book helped me accomplish things I never thought possible. I can say, with great conviction, my life did not begin until I read this masterpiece like Anthony Chaves. You will not only be doing yourself a disservice by not purchasing this book, but humanity as a whole as every being who views this holy doctrine is transported to IBM Nirvana. Let it be known far and wide that Mr. Chaves book will go down in history!
