Book Review: Getting Started with Oracle Event Processing 11g

Book Review:  Getting Started with Oracle Event Processing 11g by Alexandre Alves, Robin J. Smith, and Lloyd Williams: Publisher- Packt Publishing: ISBN- 13: 978-1849684545

The book is very well laid out, even better than documentation.  Book let reader know what is event processing and when to use it. Book tells the background of product and then demonstrates examples for simple as well as complex use cases.
Book covers event processing, stream processing, and the event-driven architecture. The book is useful only to know about OEP but for event processing in general. The style of writing and content ensures that book will be useful even with future versions of OEP.

Great book for architects and designers alike.

Disclaimer: I did not get paid to review this book, and I do not stand to gain anything if you buy the book. I have no relationship with the publisher or the author. I got electronic format of book from publisher for review.

Further reading: There are few books on event processing but certainly not on Oracle Event processing. You may try these two books to gain insight into event processing: Event Processing: Designing IT Systems for Agile Companies  and Event Processing in Action.
