Although based on the old version of Openshift, provides the required ground to understand the why and what of the platform.

The book delivers what promises, a straightforward introduction with some simple examples. I recommend if you want to have you feet wet regarding Openshift, but you probably need other sources if you need a deeper understanding.

This book is good to get started quickly with basic concepts and few rudimentary examples.

This book tries to introduce openshift but I think it is not successful. It could not provide basic concepts and familiarity with openshift. It explains everything quickly but is not very accurate.

Nice book to get acquainted with OpenShift. Despite on it is really just an intro, the book gives general insights for the platform.
