I was one of the tech reviewers for the book and I can say I learned a lot from it. The book touches a lot of technologies and uses all of them together to create a real world application. The book addresses Java EE 6: EJBs, CDI, Web Services, RESTful services, JavaServer Faces 2 along with prime faces, using these technologies in a way that makes sense. So, I definitely recommend it!
