Why is your book important right now? A. Web applications designed with cloud deployments in mind need to be highly scalable. Scalability is easily accomplished by using a client-server architecture which is aligned with the structure and constraints of the web itself. Such applications often need to provide APIs to support mobile clients and are ideally segmented in such a way as to support parallel development by front and back-end developers. This book covers topics that will help you build web applications that fulfill all of these requirements. <P>Q. What do you hope your readers walk away with? A. This book will make you more effective at your job as a software developer, software architect or systems administrator. It will guide you to determine the best technologies for projects targeted for the expectations of modern web users. It will help you to avoid bad choices that hamper development and productivity. <P>Q. What s the most exciting or important thing happening in your space? A. It is now possible for small groups of programmers to quickly create world class applications that can support high traffic and are usable on a range of mobile devices. With the right technologies, informed developers are creating web apps that simply were not possible to build just a few years ago. It is hard to choose just one exciting or important thing... the best software is architected by developers who choose the best tool for the job. <P>Q. Can you tell us a little more? A. Client-Server web applications can be built using languages other than Java and JavaScript, yet can leverage these behind the scenes. Client-side, the web browser is the execution environment for JavaScript. JavaScript can serve as an execution target for higher level languages and frameworks. That is to say, other languages can "compile down" to JavaScript which has led to descriptions of JavaScript being the<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Casimir Saternos has been developing software for more than a decade.
