Book: jBPM5 Developer Guide

Mauricio and Esteban have been working hard on their latest book on jBPM and today, their jBPM5 Developer Guide has been released !

I believe Mauricio and Esteban have done a good job in including  a lot of valuable information for people with different backgrounds.  They start with an introduction to BPM in general, give an overview of how to model processes using the BPMN 2.0 standard, show how to do all of this with jBPM and then go even further by showing more complex examples that for example include business rule integration, etc.

You can get both as a eBook or printed (which includes a free eBook as well) from Packt Publishing here.

I'm even able to offer you some discount codes, 20% off for the printed version and 25% off for the eBook.  I think that's a very nice gesture of Packt Publishing, showing once more they try to support open-source with benefits like this.  Note that they have a limited validity for use till 1st Feb, 2013.

So if you're in London on December 12th, and looking for an interesting presentation or talk afterwards about jBPM, or just looking for a place to eat some pizza and drink some beer ;), register now !
