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 needs and demands of building apps for these virtual systems, including concurrent programming, high-performance computing, and data-intensive systems. This book provides examples demonstrating all of these and more, with exercises and labs throughout, and a live environment on the Aneka platform where you can experiment and test your work.

Audience
Undergraduate students in cloud computing courses, as well as professionals who want to learn about this technology
