To get the most out of this book

As this book presents many web services and RESTful services concepts, there are no specific requirements for you to follow; however, if you want to run and execute the code samples provided in the book (which you should), then you need a basic understanding of Java programming languages, Maven, or knowledge of any build tools.

The chapters with sample code have clear explanations of how to run and test the samples, and come with the build and run scripts as well.
