This guide is designed to help you decide if programming and software engineering is the right course for you. In contrast to more expensive and immersive techniques, this guide is designed to explain in layperson's terms the expectations regarding knowledge that is required to land that first programming job. It also helps you decide along the way if you have the right temperament and will enjoy programming as a career alternative.

Cloud technologies are nothing new to the software development world—but increasingly, teams are discovering the value of cloud development environments. Our goal here at DZone is to help our community share their skills. You’ve asked for it, and we’re proud to introduce the DZone Guide to Cloud Development - 2015 Edition!

Cloud technologies are nothing new to the software development world—but increasingly, teams are discovering the value of cloud development environments. Our goal here at DZone is to help our community share their skills. You’ve asked for it, and we’re proud to introduce the DZone Guide to Cloud Development - 2015 Edition!

We've learned a lot since last year's Cloud Development guide. We hope to show how the cloud has changed over the last year, and forecast where it's going. The 2015 edition of the Guide to Cloud Development is our second second edition (the Guide to Continuous Delivery was our first), so we’re starting to see the inklings of some maybe-new trends in cloud adoption by software developers.

DZone's Guide to Cloud Development has the data, ideas, and solutions you need to optimize your cloud platforms and environments. Show less

Enterprise Information Integration: A Pragmatic Approach looks at using Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) approaches to integrating data across federated data sets and applications into a cohesive, meaningful and searchable knowledgebase. This book shows a pragmatic approach to implementation and case studies from successful EII implementations.

Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) is the discipline of linking disparate applications, platforms, and operating systems to work as one -- and deliver powerful business results seamlessly. Platform-independent Java may be the most powerful EAI tool ever invented, but mechanisms are still needed to exchange data with non-Java applications. XML provides those mechanisms. This is the first complete guide to using Java and XML together to build real-world EIA solutions! First, review the… Show more

Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) is the discipline of linking disparate applications, platforms, and operating systems to work as one -- and deliver powerful business results seamlessly. Platform-independent Java may be the most powerful EAI tool ever invented, but mechanisms are still needed to exchange data with non-Java applications. XML provides those mechanisms. This is the first complete guide to using Java and XML together to build real-world EIA solutions! First, review the basics of XML and how it can be used to build EAI infrastructure. Identify your requirements for sharing and exchanging data; then build Java applications for parsing and processing XML documents. Learn how to move data between Java and non-Java applications: serializing Java objects into XML; using XML with relational databases; asynchronous messaging with XML; and much more. The CD-ROM contains extensive source code from the book, plus a remarkable library of leading-edge software and trialware, including: Bluestone Visual-XML desktop XML development environment; IBM XML4J Java-based parser; Push-technologies SpiritWAVE2 implementation of the Java Messaging Service; and webMethods BizView realtime XML Query Language interpreter.

The abrupt migration to client/server distributed environments has had an enormous impact on the structure of IT organization and expectations of the IT function. Distributed systems have changed not only the way we access our data but also the way we program, interface, and network.

The abrupt migration to client/server distributed environments has had an enormous impact on the structure of IT organization and expectations of the IT function. Distributed systems have changed not only the way we access our data but also the way we program, interface, and network. In the tradition of David Taylor's bestselling Business Engineering with Object Technology (also from Wiley), this book provides a comprehensive management overview of the technical issues presented by distributed environments, including planning and building the environment, developing new applications, and managing the network. There are also practical suggestions for managing change, training staff, and reengineering the IT function. Show less
