Mastering Cloud Computing: Foundations and Applications Programming

Mastering Cloud Computing: Foundations and Applications Programming, Second Edition is designed for readers learning to develop cloud computing applications. Today's applications don't live on a single computer but are deployed from and reside on a virtual server, accessible anywhere, any time. Today'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. The book covers all you need to develop applications for cloud architectures, including industrial platforms and security considerations. Real-world case studies and examples demonstrate the key concepts, with exercises and labs throughout the book.
