Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the ingredients of robust, elegant, flexible, and maintainable software architecture? Beautiful Architecture answers this question through a collection of intriguing essays from more than a dozen of today's leading software designers and architects. In each essay, contributors present a notable software architecture, and analyze what makes it innovative and ideal for its purpose. Some of the engineers in this book reveal how they developed a specific project, including decisions they faced and tradeoffs they made. Others take a step back to investigate how certain architectural aspects have influenced computing as a whole. With this book, you'll discover: How Facebook's architecture is the basis for a data-centric application ecosystem The effect of Xen's well-designed architecture on the way operating systems evolve How community processes within the KDE project help software architectures evolve from rough sketches to beautiful systems How creeping featurism has helped GNU Emacs gain unanticipated functionality The magic behind the Jikes RVM self-optimizable, self-hosting runtime Design choices and building blocks that made Tandem the choice platform in high-availability environments for over two decades Differences and similarities between object-oriented and functional architectural views How architectures can affect the software's evolution and the developers' engagement Go behind the scenes to learn what it takes to design elegant software architecture, and how it can shape the way you approach your own projects, with Beautiful Architecture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: JavaScript is arguably the most polarizing and misunderstood programming language in the world. Many have attempted to replace it as the language of the Web, but JavaScript has survived, evolved, and thrived. Why did a language created in such hurry succeed where others failed? This guide gives you a rare glimpse into JavaScript from people intimately familiar with it. Chapters contributed by domain experts such as Jacob Thornton, Ariya Hidayat, and Sara Chipps show what they love about their favorite language—whether it’s turning the most feared features into useful tools, or how JavaScript can be used for self-expression. Contributors include: Angus Croll Jonathan Barronville Sara Chipps Marijn Haverbeke Ariya Hidayat Daryl Koopersmith Anton Kovalyov Rebecca Murphey Daniel Pupius Graeme Roberts Jenn Schiffer Jacob Thornton Ben Vinegar Rick Waldron Nicholas Zakas

Book excerpt: While playing a video game a young man from Karbonon unwittingly opens a door to NetherWorld; a universe that exists inside his computer. Before long, he is on a quest to save both worlds. Filled with strange and sometimes hilarious creatures, Nick is convinced that he is stuck in some kind of dream. His guide, a dizzy blue sphere named WhizzyWig, takes him deep inside the Walled City filled with bustling Bytes going about their business. Dark forces from Karbonon and NetherWorld fight to prevent this merger of life forms. The fates of both worlds are inextricably tied stopping a viral onslaught from NazKlan and the Hacker. With time diminishing and the viral attacks escalating, it is a mad race to save both dimensions from almost certain doom.NetherWorld exists within the web that runs all computers on Karbonon. Bytes, Silicate creatures that perform all the computer tasks, serve the needs of users on Karbonon. This system worked perfectly well until someone created computer viruses, spyware and spam. Any time a virus enters the web, a torrential tainted rain falls into the Jaba streams, polluting the food source of NetherWorld. Throngs of healthy Bytes are going corrupt at an alarming pace.According to the Book of TranFor, a Karbon must Join with Tera, Queen of NetherWorld to build a balance between dimensions. Nick and WhizzyWig seek out help from the Duke of Floppys and the Randoms of HateAsh on their journey. Before they can reach their destination, they must dodge the forces bent on preventing this Joining between Karbon and Silicate.NazKlan, a rebel Byte, wants to destroy all Karbons and allow the Bytes to determine their own destiny. His sector was devastated by spammers and viruses. His once thriving cyber city was reduced to a vast wasteland known as The Salted Sands. He gathered forces in NetherWorld and one very important ally in Karbonon, known as Hacker. The Hacker is a bitter young man who wants to hurt the Karbons because of the way they have treated him. NazKlan enlists the Hacker "s help to fulfill his plan to destroy Karbonon. With an army of creatures, NazKlan will stop at nothing to stop Nick from Joining with the Queen. Formed from shredded body parts of corrupt Bytes, NazKlan "s undead army of Pixals, Kooks and Spammers prepare for battle. Time is running out, and the road to Tera is fraught with peril.
