When I first used Wavemaker there was no books available about it, so I had to find various ways to learn how to use Wavemaker and develop web applications with it: with the help of Screencasts, trial and error method, analyzing logs etc.With the release of this book things are much simpler and it is much easier to get to know all the key functionality of Wavemaker. The book is suitable for all kinds of users, from beginners to the most advanced developers. It describes everything from the simplest to the most complex features of Wavemaker, like running demo applications, opening Wavemaker project as Eclipse projects, using custom components and services, etc. Beginners can develop their own application without the knowledge of Hibernate and Spring framework, and instantly see the results.One of the most interesting parts of the book advises users how to design your application, on what to look for and how to maximize performance of applications optimized for various platforms and devices.

It has certainly been a great help to guide me in understanding this tool and make the best out of it. Thanks to Ed Callahan and the Wavemaker community in teaching me about this awesome tool !!

Ron Dawes Sep 28, 2013

This book contains lots of solid information about Wavemaker and should be very useful for anyone who desires to get the most out of the product. I do wish they had used a few more end to end project style examples but it's definitely worth the purchase nonetheless.

Devin Nov 12, 2013

I purchased this book as I was looking to work with Wavemaker and thought it would provide a few insights beyond the really basic website tutorials. The book does provide some additional information but the writing style is difficult at best and given the limited additional information over the online tutorials I would recommend against the purchase of this book. The writing is ambiguous at time when explaining key points, the examples are little better than the "FREE" online tutorials, and the mobile section was weak. I really expected better from PACKT publishing.
