We just launched a new video series on YouTube, “Building Scalable Web Applications.” This series is based on the book Building Scalable PHP Web Applications Using the Cloud. While the examples are written in PHP for clarity, the ideas covered work in any programming environment you are in, whether it is Ruby on Rails, Django, ASP.NET, or anything else.
The first video in the series covers an overview of what cloud computing is, and what sorts of problems it tries to solve.
