Yesterday's post on the 2nd Edition of Antonio's book made me do a pass through different Amazon.com stores looking for GlassFish-related books.
|
A search in the main (US-centered) store showed too many (mis)hits so I created a ListMania list to search out the bad ones. There are 27 entries in the Books on GlassFish list. I still need to sort the items; some books mention GlassFish only very briefly while others are based on it.
Outside the US a plain search highlights the relevant entries:
in French at
Amazon.fr
Overall, significant progress in the last couple of years, accelerating in recent months.
We tag relevant entries as Book |
It's always nice to see others combining various technologies to come up with new and interesting applications. In this case, Natiku has described how to run Project WebSynergy onto the Amazon EC2 Computing Cloud. It runs the OpenSolaris OS. This could easily be farmed out to web startups who want to get a site up and running quickly for very low cost, while retaining the ability to pay more for more CPUs/bandwidth later.
Very cool, very cheap, and very easy!

You may have seen Jonathan's note on OpenSolaris, MySQL and GlassFish being available on Amazon EC2. Details on the OpenSolaris portion are available at the EC2 Blog (Welcome, Launch and New Limits), at Dileep's Blog and at the EC2@Sun and OS@EC2 sites. For MySQL check the MySQL@EC2 site. |
I know that Homer worked on the GlassFish
AIM AMI but it all happened right before
JavaOne and I didn't have time to check more.
He told me he is writing a note on it, and I'll spotlight it when it is ready.
And thanks to Charles for some of the Links.
