By Simon St. LaurentMay 10, 2012 O'Reilly editor Simon St. Laurent talked with Yahoo's Bruno Fernandez-Ruiz about the possibilities Node opened and Mojito exploits. Yahoo's Mojito is a different kind of framework: all JavaScript, but running on both the client and the server. Complexity fails: A lesson from storage simplification April 11, 2012 Simple systems scale effectively, while complex systems struggle to overcome the multiplicative effect of potential failure points. This shows us why the most reliable and scalable clouds are those made up of fewer, simpler parts. Oracle's NoSQLBy Mike LoukidesOctober 6, 2011 Oracle's announcement of a NoSQL product isn't just a validation of key-value stores, but of the entire discussion of database architecture.

By Julie SteeleJuly 27, 2010 Sophisticated data acquisition tools give us more geographic data to display than our eyes and minds can easily digest, calling for a careful editing process.

By RJ OwenJune 18, 2010 The Swiz micro-architecture for Flex development is nearing version 1.0. This is an important milestone for the Swiz team, some of whom have been working on the product for over two years new. If you haven't tried Swiz yet now is a great time to start.

By George ReeseMarch 24, 2010 We're at an immature stage in the development of cloud computing. Today, the cloud represents the exception to way organizations manage technology. As the decade progresses, cloud computing will mature and evolve into the core of all IT systems along the path described in these five levels of cloud computing. The Sacred Barrier
By George ReeseFebruary 25, 2010 Should public cloud providers reach into the guest operating system to perform various functions? I've always held that a public cloud provider should treat the border between the hypervisor and guest operating system as a sacred barrier that should never be breached. The fear in public cloud computing is giving up control. When a public cloud provider reaches into your virtual machine, you lose too much control. Search is the Web's fun and wicked problem
By Mac SlocumFebruary 19, 2010 We may think of search as static and mature, but it's a tool in flux. Developments in mobile, augmented reality, and social graphs signal big changes ahead. In this Q&A, "Search Patterns" author Peter Morville shows how experiments at the periphery and weird ideas will shape search's future. He also reveals the one semi-recent innovation that unlocked a watershed moment for search (it's not what you'd expect). Tactical and strategic XML design
By Rick JelliffeNovember 6, 2009 So I guess when we look at a system's architecture, the first thing we can do is ask 'Is this XML here being used strategically or tactically?' A strategic use might be, for example, to allow long-term archiving; a tactical use might be XML in AJAX (where using JSON would be another tactic.) If the answer is tactical, then we can ask 'Is it implemented in a way that allows flexible rearrangement, when a different tactic becomes appropriate?' Getting Java, C# and Perl to speak the same language (with JSON)
By Andrew StellmanOctober 4, 2009 I've been thinking a lot about architecture lately. It's partially because Jenny and I are going to do our Beautiful Teams talk at the ITARC 2009 conference next week. But it's also because I've been writing a lot of code... Four short links: 30 September 2009

The Origins of MVC
By Andrew TriceJune 25, 2008 While there has recently been an increase in the buzz regarding frameworks, design patterns, and MVC architectures, they really are not new concepts.

Anatomy of an Enterprise Flex RIA Part 14: Services and DelegatesBy Tony HillersonApril 21, 2008 Last time we looked at Cairngorm and its role in our application.

By Andrew TriceFebruary 7, 2008 Whether you are using Flex, Ajax, Silverlight, JavaFx, or some other RIA technology, the basic architecture is going to be pretty similar... In most cases you will typically have have a stateful client application and a separate services layer on the backend. It is important to understand this differentiation, and to understand that this plays a huge role in how you design and build your applications. 1 to 49 of 49 Stay Connected
