How do I buy and download an eBook?

Where there is an eBook version of a title available, you can buy it from the book details for that title. Add either the standalone eBook or the eBook and print book bundle to your shopping cart. Your eBook will show in your cart as a product on its own. After completing checkout and payment in the normal way, you will receive your receipt on the screen containing a link to a personalised PDF download file. This link will remain active for 30 days. You can download backup copies of the file by logging in to your account at any time.

If you already have Adobe reader installed, then clicking on the link will download and open the PDF file directly. If you don't, then save the PDF file on your machine and download the Reader to view it.

Great information provided in this book. The table of contents makes it a little difficult to follow, but the book does offer a good deal of knowledge. This is a great for reference.

This is a good book until the middle, after that there are a lot of "duplicated" texts.

If you consider bying;Amazon offers a preview to the first pages, if you like the style and the depth in which the topics are covered, then the book is for you. If you hope that later chapters provide more details, then it is not!I returned the book, because when starting reading it i had the impression, that it lacked the depth (mostly superficial information), structure (repetitions) and quality (diagrams, writing style) to be a helpful book.

The book is repetitive, with one and the same passage reappearing many times over from chapter to chapter. Mostly talk, talk, talk. Looks like the intention was good, but the effort didn't last long enough. Does this publisher employ editors?

There is a big quantity of text and no practice. There are a few codes o Java Spring but this is not the purpose of the book. A lot of theory. I understand there is a lot of effort on this book but this is maybe to who know nothing about APIs, and want some theory.
