Having posted a number of long reviews regarding the Packt Publishing book Getting Started with Oracle Event Processing 11g here is a brief review (also posted to Amazon UK)
Although the book’s introduction says that its target audience is developers and architects the first few chapters are a very good introduction to the ideas and goals if Complex Event Processing (CEP) that would be easy to get to grips with by anyone in the IT industry, explaining the ideas and illustrating them with easy to grasp real examples.
As the chapters go on the book increasingly delves into the specifics of the Oracle solution providing illustrations of the different aspects of the product from Continuous Query Language (the heart of the CEP capability) to OSGi and how it can be used to effect easy deployment. That said, there is a lot here regarding general good practice, and provide insight into what should be expected from a good CEP platform.
Unlike a number of Packt books I’ve seen, this doesn’t simply take a step by step, screen by screen tutorial approach where you tend to get sucked into following the steps, the book focuses on what and why. This does mean that a bit more thought is needed to follow the examples through – but that is no bad thing in my opinion.
See posts below for a far more detailed write up on this excellent book.

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.

This book is a step by step Guide to build an Oracle CEP Application, easy to follow and the examples are clear and progressive. Moreover is interesting the explanation of CEP theory, the solutions, and the business cases. The CQL language examples are detailed, in a forward looking approach.

As a technical reviewer of this book I strongly recommended to the people who wants to implement a real time event processing system.
