This book is more of an Amazon EC2 and S3 user manual than covering Cloud Application Architecture in general.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Having said that I did find that it still did have some good content although in many areas it was very high level.  Some diagrams were also missing from my copy.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;There was a good Cloud Computing and Amazon Web Services overview.  Cloud ROI, Monitoring &amp; Management, and reiteration that Laws need to be considered were also covered, as were development implications, and in particular multiple-server transaction management.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;If you want an overview of Amazon Web Services, EC2 and S3 then this book may be right for you.

This is a good introduction to Infrastructure as a Service type cloud computing with a focus on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Just about the right level of detail to get an idea of what AWS and cloud computing is about along with a thoughtful treatment on some of the key issues and trade-offs. This is not a detailed how-to book.

This is a very good book - I have nothing to add over the other good reviews. Important point to note is that this book is heavily focused on IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) - Amazon/GoGrid/Rackspace, while using Amazon as the main theme. If you plan to go for Google Apps/Azure/Salesforce/... - this book not directly required and may be pretty hardcore for a start.
&lt;br /&gt;FYI

Cloud is a concept, not an absolute.  This book is far too specific around EC2 from Amazon, and the promotion thereof.  Alternative approaches are referenced far too rarely, and mostly at the very end.  The book also flipped between business models / architectures, to dumping 128 bit encryption code from RSA.  No matter who you are, much of this book will not be what you are looking for.  I felt it was very biased.

All it talks about is Amazon&#039;s EC2, S3, MapReduce. It does not talk about &quot;Application Architecture&quot;. It does not have ideas about how to break up traditional programs into MapReduce paradigm. It should be called Cloud Operations Architecture. If it was named by that title, I&#039;d give it 5 stars. The book itself is not bad, but it will get obsolete very quickly due to its specificity to Amazon. 
&lt;br /&gt;subtitle should be :Building Applications and Infrastructure in Amazon Cloud

This book has everything a new grad student or aspiring roboticist would want.  It covers the mechanics, the controls and even some vision for robotic manipulators.  Very nice resource.

I really was relieved to have found this book on Amazon and that it could be expressed delivered.  All the other places I looked gave me a 2 week wait.  I needed the book right away since I started my class late and homework was due like in 2 days!!  I also liked that I can keep track of the entire delivery process.  I was at work and I decided to see at what time my book was possibly going to be here.  I looked and I saw through the tracking section of your products that my book was waiting for me on my front door.  I went home and it was carefully hidden so that nobody can take my package.  Thank you so much and I plan on using Amazon.com in the fture!

I really was relieved to have found this book on Amazon and that it could be expressed delivered.  All the other places I looked gave me a 2 week wait.  I needed the book right away since I started my class late and homework was due like in 2 days!!  I also liked that I can keep track of the entire delivery process.  I was at work and I decided to see at what time my book was possibly going to be here.  I looked and I saw through the tracking section of your products that my book was waiting for me on my front door.  I went home and it was carefully hidden so that nobody can take my package.  Thank you so much and I plan on using Amazon.com in the fture!</p>

The author mingles in many personal remarks which clutters the content substantially, making for a difficult, annoying read.  After finding another introductory &amp; intermediate CSS book, &amp; then comparing the two, I can honestly say CSS For Dummies is not organized well, has examples which do not contain vital information or a variety of applications.  Based on other books I&#039;ve owned &amp; read, this book is a poor choice when learning CSS.Worst of all, there was at least one sample file on the included CD where illegal [chemical] use was cited in the text (see Ch8_fixed.html on the CD - the author writes about &quot;being pissed&quot;, and taking [a chemical]).  Examples as this clearly make the book an undesirable selection - especially for youth trying to learn CSS.  There are simply no reasons for either using offensive language or blatant references to illegal [chemical] use in a book like this.I&#039;ll never buy another &quot;Dummies&quot; book again.

I find that as a book for people new to the topic, this is very confusing. The author jumps all over the place from basic topics to advanced topics and back again in the same chapter. It&#039;s hard to follow, and it&#039;s hard to figure out how to make CSS work.

The writing in this book is muddy, and like another reviewer here, I had to buy a second book to figure out what this book was saying. Since Dummies books are for beginners, a logical order running from easy to difficult should be used. This author is all over the place.The above is bad enough, then add to this the obvious fact that the book was merely spell-checked but never looked at by an editor (or at least by one who knows grammar and syntax).The code isn&#039;t consistent, and the index has errors.Don&#039;t buy this book. It was obviously pushed out the publisher&#039;s door without any attempt to make sure customers get their money&#039;s worth. Don&#039;t you get ripped off too.

This book is for people with a reasonable knowledge of HTML 4 who want to learn the basics of Cascading Style Sheets Level 1.  Damon Dean wrote &quot;FrontPage 2000 For Dummies: Quick Reference&quot; which was a very useful guide indeed, but this book falls short of that, both in terms of layout and content.Finding things is hard - as a reference it is pretty hopeless.  The tutorials work but they seem to jump around too much.  There is a section on how well CSS works with XML, but the author writes his code in CAPITAL letters, which is a no-no in XML.  XML and XHTML are case sensitive and must be written in lowercase.You get a basic grounding in CSS with this book, but I suspect it teaches you some bad habits in the process.  For someone who just wishes to add a little bit of style to an otherwise boring website - this will probably suffice.

Well prior to buying this book and the Digital Classroom equivalent I had spent a month following online user tutorials on youtube for free.  I picked up the respective books hoping they would reveal many of the more comprehensive features and stronger integration between the CS4 programs.  This assumption was wrong, perhaps because I&#039;m already familiar with many of the programs or because the user videos where so good but I soon realized that these books felt more like a concentration for information I&#039;d already found at some point.  I use both books more as references than as reads for tutorials and what not.  They both lack the comprehensive tricks you need to make a truelly great website and other content so That also saddened me.  For example this book doesn&#039;t show you how to build a custom gallery from scratch for a website so that you display images in a truely classy fashion, nor does it mention iframe and how to use it.  The integration of fireworks and dreamweaver also felt over looked and under explained.  If you are a novice and I mean a novice with no love for sifting through youtube tutorials and what not then I do recommend this book to you.  But with my experience and a little know how I had surpassed the content of these books before they were ever delivered to me.  I will echo other peoples thoughts in saying there is more information in this book that the digital classroom, but it isn&#039;t structured for a fluid tutorial or anything.

Pros: Good reference book. Has a lot of information in it that helped me learn a few things about the program.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Cons: Needs a disk shipped with it that provides the same info as they use in they&#039;re lessons. With out any information given from them its a little hard to fallow along and figure out how to do it the way they do it.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Over all: Good for people who know a bit about how to use the programs all ready or how to wright/type code for web designing or know a bit about how to draw for illustrator. In my honest opinion, I think it would be a lot better if it was like the Head First Labs books where they provide practice material, instead of just presuming u have all the materials needed to do their  exercises. Again this is just my honest opinion on it.

Martin for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/Beautiful-Testing-Professionals-Software-Practice/dp/0596159811%3FSubscriptionId%3D1ECFAHREADSQF5BVVVR2%26tag%3Dallgr8ebooks-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D0596159811&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Beautiful Testing: Leading Professionals Reveal How They Improve Software (Theory in Practice)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;

As a software developer, I see the importance of good testing on a day to day basis.  It is the essential piece of the puzzle that ensures that your efforts bare fruit in terms of business value.  However, I also see it as the most neglected and poorly implemented aspect of producing software - at least with some of the projects and environments I worked on (and, sadly, I certainly haven&#039;t always been an exception).  
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Having read this book my drive to improve the testing practices, procedures, and tools has been dramatically invigorated.  Of particular interest to me, because they tie more directly with the work I do on a day to day basis, were the chapters on agile development, continuous integration, automated testing, and the associated tools.  Chapter 14, &quot;Test-Driven Development: Driving New Standards of Beauty&quot; and &quot;Beautiful Testing as the Cornerstone of Business Success&quot; were truly awe-inspiring.  They drew a picture in my mind of the perfect development environment, and even give somewhat of a road-map to get there.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Some of the chapters were excellent for their high level breadth.  Chapter 2, &quot;Beautiful Testing Satisfies Stakeholders&quot; and chapter 6, &quot;Bug Management and Test Case Effectiveness&quot; gives you a good sense of the value proposition of a good testing foundation.  
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Others were a real joy to read (well...I guess if you&#039;re a geek).  Chapter 1 was an entertaining, yet insightful, view into the mind of a tester.  Chapter 12 was dramatic and really made you feel the weight of the pressure to make sure the testing was impeccable.  One of my favorite chapters was &quot;Software Development is a Creative Process&quot;, chapter 13.  This chapter distilled how I feel about development.  
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;There were a few chapter that didn&#039;t give me much value.  Many of the chapters were very narrowly focused on a specific technology or project, and didn&#039;t do enough, in my opinion, to relate the chapter to the larger scope.  Chapter 21, &quot;Web Application Testing With Windmill&quot; read almost like marketing material for the product.  I also didn&#039;t get much out of &quot;Beautiful XMPP Testing&quot; (chapter 6) and &quot;Testing a Random Number Generator&quot; (chapter 10).  These chapter, however, really didn&#039;t detract from the overall superb quality of the writing or high value of the information contained in this book - not to mention that it is probably a matter of perspective.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;If you are involved in any aspect of software development, you should consider this required reading.  The knowledge and insight taken out of this book will certainly make me more effective professionally.

As a software developer, I see the importance of good testing on a day to day basis.  It is the essential piece of the puzzle that ensures that your efforts bare fruit in terms of business value.  However, I also see it as the most neglected and poorly implemented aspect of producing software &#8211; at least with some of the projects and environments I worked on (and, sadly, I certainly haven&#8217;t always been an exception).  </p>
<p>Having read this book my drive to improve the testing practices, procedures, and tools has been dramatically invigorated.  Of particular interest to me, because they tie more directly with the work I do on a day to day basis, were the chapters on agile development, continuous integration, automated testing, and the associated tools.  Chapter 14, &#8220;Test-Driven Development: Driving New Standards of Beauty&#8221; and &#8220;Beautiful Testing as the Cornerstone of Business Success&#8221; were truly awe-inspiring.  They drew a picture in my mind of the perfect development environment, and even give somewhat of a road-map to get there.</p>
<p>Some of the chapters were excellent for their high level breadth.  Chapter 2, &#8220;Beautiful Testing Satisfies Stakeholders&#8221; and chapter 6, &#8220;Bug Management and Test Case Effectiveness&#8221; gives you a good sense of the value proposition of a good testing foundation.  </p>

The book is a large index of how to&#039;s whne you go to look things up...but it still assumes a base of Adobe product knowledge that Dummies like me just don&#039;t have.  In the end one just has to get cracking with the software on trial and error.
