Mastering cloud computing : foundations and applications programming

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.
