Removing the 'install' chapter and adding a chapter to dissect a simple 'Address' database with embedded lists of phones, addresses, emails, relationships, and more would go a LONG way. It is disappointing that the authors took the typical beginners approach to a subject that many relational database bigots are dying to beat up on. By not showing a direct comparison to a relational design (function by function, attribute by attribute) they have left InterSystems with little to demonstrate to their potential customers why Cache is a powerful alternative to the status quo.
Shame... Could have been such a terrific book and demonstrative example of how and why OODBs will eventaully rule the real world. Until then we will have to wait for the sequel and hope that it can address the shortcomings of this book.
The book gives detailed information about Caché's way of handling all major database functions, explains in a nice manner how to get it up & running ( at least on Windows this is actually so easy that it's almost not necessary to waste many words about it), provides a good introduction into Caché's specific as well as general object-oriented programming but stays a bit short on webapplications and information/assistance about errors & error-codes. It almost appears that the authors had a deadline to meet, and finished the web-part a bit too fast.
However, this sounds worse than it really is: Caché's online tutorial and documentation fill this gap, so to start, to learn more and to have a very nice, very compact language reference in your bag or next to your keyboard, this book is probably the best thing to have, especially in conjunction with the online materials.
The authors always keep their focus on what's necessary, it's easy to understand without simplifying the subject. In good Springer-Verlag manner it's slightly overpriced, but its size, layout and paper is very nice; too pretty almost: You certainly don't want to write notes into it, so you might end up with lots of Post-Its between the pages.
Unlike most other programming languages and databases this book prooves that you don't need 12 different 800-pages manuals, tutorials, references etc to accomplish one thing. In my opinion, besides the performance and ability to easily integrate with almost all other languages and platforms, this is one of the best aspects of Intersystems Caché.
