Beautiful Architecture Book Digital Edition coming out today!
The digital edition of Diomidis Spinellis’ “Beautiful Architecture” book is expected to go live today. The book includes essays on some of the most interesting large scale system architecures including Facebook and Tandem. I expect everyone knows Facebook by now, but how many people realize that everything they know about transaction processing, including things like two-phase commit and transaction logs started with Tandem?
If the quality of Diomidis’ previous books is any indication, this book promises to be extremely interesting (to say the list). I just can’t wait to get my copy!
I wonder, how many hours before O’Reily activates the purchase link ………
