Tomcat
Because Tomcat is written in Java, some people assume that you have to be a Java guru to use it. That is not so! Although you need to know Java to modify the inter- nals of Tomcat or to write your own servlet programs, you do not need to know any Java to use Tomcat or to write or maintain many JavaServer Pages (JSPs). You can have JSPs that use “JavaBeans” or “JSP Custom Tags”; in both …

TO THE CLOUD
The Internet had been around for a while when on July 5, 1993, the New Yorker magazine featured a cartoon that, in the minds of some, marked its real arrival. “On the Internet,” says the dog at the computer screen to his canine friend, “nobody knows you’re a dog.” I knew it was time to write this book when I woke up one morning, downloaded my digital edition of the October 8, 2012, Ne…

The ThoughtWorks Anthology 2
I love anthologies. When I was a lad, I was a huge fan of science fiction. I was lucky to have access to a rich ecosystem of sci-fi magazines. Every year, each magazine would take its very best stories and anthologize them, presenting the cream of the crop. I whiled away many hours reading those best-of collections. I loved those anthologies because each story had a different author; the chang…
