Scott Densmore, Alex Homer, Masashi Narumoto and John Sharp, "Building Hybrid Applications in the Cloud on Windows Azure"
English | ISBN: 1621140121 | 2013 | 404 pages | PDF, EPUB | 18 MB
The IT industry has been evolving at a rapid pace; and with the advent of cloud computing the rate of evolution is accelerating significantly. However, most organizations still have a lot of IT assets running in on-premises datacenters. We are in the middle of a transition between running everything on-premises and hosting everything in the cloud. Hybrid is a term that represents the application that positions its architecture somewhere along this continuum. Hybrid applications span the on-premises and cloud divide, and bring with them a unique set of challenges. This guide addresses these challenges by mapping Windows Azure features to specific scenarios encountered in the hybrid application design and development. A case study of a fictitious company named Trey Research explains the challenges encountered in a hybrid application, and describes solutions using Windows Azure features such as Service Bus, Caching, Traffic Manager, Azure Connect, SQL Azure Data Sync, ACS, and more. The guide is divided into two main sections. The first describes the specific design decisions Trey Research made when designing their application. The second provides general guidance on typical scenarios and use cases encountered in each of the challenge areas. Together they will help you to find solutions for the challenges you will meet when developing your own hybrid applications. This guide is intended for architects, developers, and information technology (IT) professionals who design, build, or operate applications and services that run on or interact with the cloud. Although applications do not need to be based on the Windows operating system to operate in Windows Azure, this book is written for people who work with Windows-based systems. You should be familiar with the.NET Framework, Visual Studio , ASP.NET MVC, and Visual C#.

Alex Homer, John Sharp, Larry Brader, Masashi Narumoto, Trent Swanson, "Cloud Design Patterns: Prescriptive Architecture Guidance for Cloud Applications"
English | 2014 | ISBN: 1621140369 | 238 Pages | EPUB | 3 MB
Cloud applications have a unique set of characteristics. They run on commodity hardware, provide services to untrusted users, and deal with unpredictable workloads. These factors impose a range of problems that you, as a designer or developer, need to resolve. Your applications must be resilient so that they can recover from failures, secure to protect services from malicious attacks, and elastic in order to respond to an ever changing workload.
This guide demonstrates design patterns that can help you to solve the problems you might encounter in many different areas of cloud application development. Each pattern discusses design considerations, and explains how you can implement it using the features of Windows Azure. The patterns are grouped into categories: availability, data management, design and implementation, messaging, performance and scalability, resilience, management and monitoring, and security.
You will also see more general guidance related to these areas of concern. It explains key concepts such as data consistency and asynchronous messaging. In addition, there is useful guidance and explanation of the key considerations for designing features such as data partitioning, telemetry, and hosting in multiple datacenters.
These patterns and guidance can help you to improve the quality of applications and services you create, and make the development process more efficient. Enjoy!
Dominic Betts, Alex Homer, Alejandro Jezierski and Masashi Narumoto, "Moving Applications to the Cloud on Windows Azure, 3 edition"
English | ISBN: 1621140202 | 2014 | 206 pages | PDF, EPUB | 6 MB
How do you build and deploy applications to be scalable and have high availability? Along with developing the applications, you must also have an infrastructure that can support them. You may need to scale up or add servers, have redundant hardware, and add logic to the application to handle distributed computing and failovers—even if an application is in high demand for only short periods of time. The cloud offers a solution. It is made up of interconnected servers located in various data centers, but you see what appears to be a centralized location that someone else hosts and manages. By removing the responsibility for maintaining an infrastructure, you’re free to concentrate on what matters most: the application. This guide is the third edition of the first volume in a series about Windows Azure. It demonstrates how you can adapt an existing on-premises ASP.NET application to one that operates in the cloud by introducing a fictitious company named Adatum that modifies its expense tracking and reimbursement system, aExpense, so that it can be deployed to Windows Azure. To illustrate the wide range of options and features in Windows Azure, this guide and the code examples available for it show a step-by-step migration process that includes using Windows Azure Web Sites, Virtual Machines, Cloud Services, and SQL Database. Together with useful information on developing, deploying, managing, and costing cloud-hosted applications, this guide provides you with a comprehensive resource for moving your applications to Window Azure. This book is intended for any architect, developer, or information technology (IT) professional who designs, builds, or operates applications and services that are appropriate for the cloud. Although applications do not need to be based on the Microsoft Windows operating system to work in Windows Azure or written using a .NET language, this book is written for people who work with Windows-based systems. You should be familiar with the.NET Framework, Visual Studio, ASP.NET, and Visual C#.

Building an On-Demand Video Service with Microsoft Azure Media Services
English | ISBN: N/A | 2014 | 139 pages | PDF, EPUB, MOBI | 10 MB
Preface
Microsoft Azure Media Services allows you to build scalable, cost effective, end-to-end media distribution solutions that can upload, encode, package, and stream media to Windows, iOS, Android, Adobe Flash, and other devices and platforms.
The guide describes a scenario concerning a fictitious company named Contoso that has decided to use Azure Media Services to provide a video-on-demand service as an end-to-end solution.
In addition to describing the client applications, their integration with Azure Media Services, and the decisions made during the design and implementation, this guide discusses related factors, such as the design patterns used, and the ways that the application could be extended or modified for other
scenarios.
The result is that, after reading this guide you will be familiar with how to design and implement applications that consume Azure Media services.
Who this guidance is for This guidance is intended for architects, developers, and information technology professionals who design, build, or maintain video-on-demand or online video portal applications and services,
particularly those that integrate with a content management systems. To understand the sample code provided with this guidance, you should be familiar with the Microsoft .NET Framework, the Microsoft Visual Studio development system, the Azure SDK for .NET, ASP.NET MVC, and the Microsoft Visual C# development language.
Why this guidance is pertinent now Building the workflow for the creation, management, and distribution of media is problematic. It involves having to integrate multiple technologies and providers, some of which may be incompatible. In addition, it can require a huge investment in infrastructure, which may not always
be fully utilized. These issues can result in a non-standardized workflow that is not easily scaled, and that requires coordination at different stages of the workflow.

Pro PHP MVC (Expert's Voice in Open Source) by Chris Pitt
English | 2012 | ISBN-10: 1430241640 | EPUB + PDF | 500 pages | 4,6 + 2,4 MB
Model View Controller (MVC) is becoming the definitive architecture of website development frameworks due to the stability, extensibility and predictability it lends to development. It is not just the primary separation of database, business logic and interface components, but includes a wide range of considerations for building high-performing, scalable and secure applications.
Deciding which MVC framework best suits the project you are about to begin is one of the biggest challenges you'll face as a developer. If you are part of a team, this decision has probably already been made for you; but in any event, you'll need to know how (and why) the framework authors made it work the way it does.
Pro PHP MVC looks at the building blocks that make any good MVC framework, and how they apply to PHP. It exposes all considerations that many developers take for granted when using a popular framework, and teaches you how to make the framework your own.
Over the course of reading this book, you will learn the theoretical implications of the choices you would make when writing your own MVC framework, and how to put the pieces together in a cohesive package. We take a look at the highly modular Zend Framework—how to use its collection of loosely coupled classes to build a unified system. We also look at CakePHP, learning from its automated build system (Bakery) and highly intuitive approach to rapid development. This book will lay bare all the secret parts of MVC for you.

English | 2014 | ISBN: 193952993X | ISBN-13: 9781939529930 | 304 pages | EPUB | 94,8 MB
Debbie Matenopoulos, the first member of her family born in America, grew up in a traditional Greek household, eating delicious, authentic Greek cooking that her family had passed down for generations.
By the time Debbie had started her television career in New York on The View, she began eating a standard American diet. But despite carefully limiting how much she ate, she found herself gaining weight and lacking energy. As Debbie’s career as an entertainment news reporter and television host on BS, MTV, E!, and other networks had her constantly on the go, she was grabbing whatever food was readily available. It was only when she returned to her traditional Greek diet that she found herself easily—and healthily—realizing her natural weight and regaining her natural energy, stamina, and physique.
Now, in It's All Greek to Me, Debbie shares 120 of her family's traditional Greek recipes and adds her own touch to make them even healthier and easier to prepare.
After tasting Debbie’s dishes, such as her mouthwatering version of Spanakopita (Spinach Feta Pie), Kalamaria Kaftera (Spicy Calamari), her family’s secret recipe for Baklava, and, of course, Arni kai Patates (Classic Roasted Leg of Lamb with Potatoes)—you’ll be amazed these delicious foods are good for you. With a foreword by Dr. Michael Ozner, one of the nation’s leading cardiologists, the recipes in It’s All Greek to Me adhere to the healthiest diet on the planet: the traditional Mediterranean Diet. Modern science is catching up to what Greeks have known for millennia: health comes from eating natural, whole-food ingredients that haven’t been processed or pumped full of hormones, antibiotics, or preservatives.
Let It’s All Greek to Me bring your friends and family together to share in the experience of a Greek meal and way of life. Opa!
