A nice take on IBM Streams. Books about software products have to walk a fine line. Many go too shallow, focusing so much on background and use cases that you really don’t know what the solution entails. Others go too deep, getting down to installation issues and code details and the like. This book walks that line very well. I found the need for the product well described, followed by excellent and thorough, but not too thorough, product descriptions. It was not a long book, but was long enough for its introductory purpose. I think the only thing I would have asked for would be another “capstone” usage example at the end to fix in the reader’s mind how it all would fit together. All in all, well done. I would consider reading other software and solutions books by this author.
