Mastering Cloud Computing is designed for undergraduate students learning to develop cloud computing applications. Tomorrow's applications won't live on a single computer but will be deployed from and reside on a virtual server, accessible anywhere, any time. Tomorrow's application developers need to understand the requirements of building apps for these virtual systems, including concurrent programming, high-performance computing, and data-intensive systems. The book introduces the principles of distributed and parallel computing underlying cloud architectures and specifically focuses on virtualization, thread programming, task programming, and map-reduce programming. There are examples demonstrating all of these and more, with exercises and labs throughout. - Explains how to make design choices and tradeoffs to consider when building applications to run in a virtual cloud environment - Real-world case studies include scientific, business, and energy-efficiency considerations
Server-Side Development Is Easier Than You Think Not so long ago, anyone who knew HTML, even casually, was considered to have a special skill. Now, if you don't at least dabble in server-side web development, you're already behind. Fortunately, Mastering JSP is a great way to build the skills you need today. Inside, you'll learn to design and develop a wide range of JSP-based web applications, beginning with a basic, dynamically generated website. From there you'll build apps that read from and write to databases, create your own custom tags, and process and present XML. Throughout, you're helped by detailed, completely illuminated examples. Coverage includes: Making a servlet configurable Using JavaBeans inside Java Server Pages Building basic JavaBeans for storing user preferences and utility functions Recovering source code from binary class files Building a basic database application Handling exceptions and using asserts Redirecting error output to a file Scanning error logs using a servlet Using a pop-up menu to avoid troublesome actions Displaying XML files using XSLT and JSP Making a servlet-based watermarking application Providing dynamic authentication with roles, permissions, and access Building a Model-View Controller application Improving prototyping with ResultSets using a custom class Abstracting data access code using Java Objects Creating a custom tag to handle client-side JavaScript Abstracting data access SQL using meta-data, JavaBeans, and EJB Note: CD-ROM/DVD and other supplementary materials are not included as part of eBook file.

Working with unbounded and fast-moving data streams has historically been difficult. But with Kafka Streams and ksqlDB, building stream processing applications is easy and fun. This practical guide shows data engineers how to use these tools to build highly scalable stream processing applications for moving, enriching, and transforming large amounts of data in real time. Mitch Seymour, data services engineer at Mailchimp, explains important stream processing concepts against a backdrop of several interesting business problems. You'll learn the strengths of both Kafka Streams and ksqlDB to help you choose the best tool for each unique stream processing project. Non-Java developers will find the ksqlDB path to be an especially gentle introduction to stream processing. Learn the basics of Kafka and the pub/sub communication pattern Build stateless and stateful stream processing applications using Kafka Streams and ksqlDB Perform advanced stateful operations, including windowed joins and aggregations Understand how stateful processing works under the hood Learn about ksqlDB's data integration features, powered by Kafka Connect Work with different types of collections in ksqlDB and perform push and pull queries Deploy your Kafka Streams and ksqlDB applications to production
The book is aimed at intermediate developers with an understanding of core database concepts who want to become a master at implementing Cassandra for their application.
