"Java EE 7 with GlassFish 4 Application Server" is the new edition of "Java EE 6 with GlassFish 3 Application Server", from the same author.
This is a very nice book to read if you are not experienced with Java EE and want to learn quickly the concepts of
Java enterprise applications development and how to deploy them on the GlassFish 4 application Server, which is the first application server that supported Java EE 7.

The book is organized in eleven chapters and each one is focused on a specific argument with some simple, but interesting examples.
The author preferred not to fill the book with too much code, showing only the relevant parts and encouraging the reader to download the sample code and try it.

In the first chapter you get a highlight of the new features of Java EE 7: the most relevant are the introduction of Faces Flows and HTML5 markup support in JSF 2.2,
the new Java API for WebSocket 1.0 and the Java API for JSON.
Every new feature has a specific chapter that explains its purpose and how to use it in your projects.
Other chapters cover the configuration of GlassFish 4 and show you how your code and the application server can work together.

To sum up, I strongly suggest this book to people who need to get started with Java EE 7 and GlassFish
and are looking for a book that is easy to read and with tips on how to configure the application server and deploy their applications on it.
