Review:Reading it through gives you a complete picture of building microservices. I have already had experiences with restful service design, cloud computing and so on. Microservice is just one step ahead. Good to see the author listing various software to use for each aspect and his judgement on them. Very helpful! Read more

Review:The only thing that stopped me from giving this book a top rating was the author's solemn observation that no executive was likely to work with a terminal in his own office. After all, the executive had far too much paperwork to manage. Right. Well, it was the 1970's.

Review:When I first received my iPad, a friend recommended that I check this book out from the library. I'm glad I bought it instead, for one read will not do the trick for me. I need to be able to look in the index and find how to do whatever I am involved with at the time.
