Moyer demonstrates these patterns at work through extensive example code and case study applications for Python and Amazon Web Services (AWS). As you increasingly move to the cloud, you’ll constantly encounter the challenges this book solves. http://www.developerfusion.com/book/117859/building-applications-in-the-cloud-concepts-patterns-and-projects/ http://www.developerfusion.com/book/117859/building-applications-in-the-cloud-concepts-patterns-and-projects/ Fri, 15 Apr 2011 22:44:00 GMT James Crowley How can a company's applications be scalable and have high availability?To achieve this, along with developing the applications, you must also have an infrastructure that can support them. For example, you may need to add servers or increase the capacities of existing ones, have redundant hardware, add logic to the application to handle distributed computing, and add logic for failovers. You have to do this even if an application is in high demand for only short periods of time. http://www.developerfusion.com/book/88281/moving-applications-to-the-cloud-on-the-microsoft-azure-platform/ http://www.developerfusion.com/book/88281/moving-applications-to-the-cloud-on-the-microsoft-azure-platform/ Mon, 30 Aug 2010 00:00:00 GMT James Crowley Netbooks are the hot new thing in PCs--small, inexpensive laptops designed for web browsing, email, and working with web-based programs.

In just over a year, it's become the most talked-about project in open source. This concise book introduces OpenStack's general design and primary software components in detail, and shows you how to start using it to build cloud infrastructures. http://www.developerfusion.com/book/123317/deploying-openstack/ http://www.developerfusion.com/book/123317/deploying-openstack/ Sun, 31 Jul 2011 16:11:00 GMT James Crowley The open source Scala language is a Java–based dynamic scripting, functional programming language. Moreover, this highly scalable scripting language lends itself well to building Cloud–based/deliverable Software as a Service (SaaS) online applications.Written by Lift Scala web framework founder and lead Dave Pollak, Beginning Scala takes a down–to–earth approach to teaching Scala that leads you through simple examples that can be combined to build complex, scalable systems and applications. http://www.developerfusion.com/book/49471/beginning-scala/ http://www.developerfusion.com/book/49471/beginning-scala/ Mon, 25 May 2009 00:00:00 GMT James Crowley Python is an ideal language for solving problems, especially in Linux and Unix networks. With this pragmatic book, administrators can review various tasks that often occur in the management of these systems, and learn how Python can provide a more efficient and less painful way to handle them. Each chapter in Python for Unix and Linux System Administration presents a particular administrative issue, such as concurrency or data backup, and presents Python solutions through hands-on examples. http://www.developerfusion.com/book/17396/python-for-unix-and-linux-system-administration/ http://www.developerfusion.com/book/17396/python-for-unix-and-linux-system-administration/ Tue, 02 Sep 2008 00:00:00 GMT James Crowley
