Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This is a thin book that was churned out quickly, like all in the Firstpress series. There are some errors, and the topic isn't covered in great depth. On the other hand, it's the only book out there strictly devoted to Guice. So if you really want to learn Guice quickly, this book will help.
On the other hand, the much-improved (and much-different) Guice 2.0 is currently in beta. As is Spring 3.0, which has a far richer feature set (some might call it absurdly large) than Guice; the two aren't exclusive, but if you use Spring, you should ask whether you really need to add Guice. And an upcoming book, Dependency Injection in Action (which you can buy an early eBook of through Manning's MEAP program) covers Guice more thoroughly. So if you do get this book, it might not be useful for very long.
[Edit: Guice 2.0 has now been released. I'd avoid this book and learn the new version instead.]

Google Guice firstPress is first and authoritative book on emerging open source Guice project, an agile ultralightweight Java and Web application development framework. Many in the industry believe Guice to be the next Spring. Backed by Google and apparently Sun, this has the high potential to become reality one day.
