Distributed Systems in Java [Leanpub PDF/iPad/Kindle]

Master the Art of Building Robust, Scalable Distributed Applications

This comprehensive guide to distributed systems using Java provides both theoretical foundations and practical implementation techniques for developers, architects, and students. Spanning 22 chapters of meticulously organised content, this book bridges the gap between academic concepts and real-world application development.

Key Features:

• Complete Coverage: From fundamental distributed computing concepts to advanced topics like microservices, event-driven architecture, and serverless computing • Java-Focused Implementation: All examples and code snippets use Java, demonstrating how to leverage its robust ecosystem for distributed systems • Practical Approach: Real-world examples, case studies, and best practices that can be immediately applied to your projects • Progressive Learning Path: Structured to build knowledge systematically, from basic client-server models to complex distributed architectures • Performance Optimisation: Dedicated sections on testing, debugging, and optimising distributed applications

Perfect For:

Software developers looking to expand their skills in distributed systems
System architects designing scalable enterprise applications
Students and educators in computer science and software engineering
DevOps professionals managing distributed infrastructures

Whether you're building your first networked application or architecting complex cloud-native systems, this book provides the knowledge and tools you need to succeed in today's distributed computing landscape.
