MySQL High Availability - pdf

Book Description
Server bottlenecks and failures are a fact of life in any database deployment, but they don’t have to bring everything to a halt. MySQL has several features that can help you protect your system from outages, whether it’s running on hardware, virtual machines, or in the cloud. MySQL High Availability explains how to use these replication, cluster, and monitoring features in a wide range of real-life situations.

Written by engineers who designed many of the tools covered inside, this book reveals undocumented or hard-to-find aspects of MySQL reliability and high availability — knowledge that's essential for any organization using this database system.

• Explore the binary log, a file for replication that helps in disaster recovery and troubleshooting
• Get techniques for improving response time and handling large data sets
• Monitor database activity and performance, as well as major operating system parameters
• Keep track of what masters and slaves are doing, and deal with failures and restarts, corruption, and other incidents
• Automate key tasks with code from an open source library written by the authors
• Learn techniques for using MySQL in virtualized environments, such as Amazon Web Services
• Use MySQL Cluster to achieve high availability

“MySQL replication is widely deployed but has never been adequately explained. This book changes that.” — Mark Callaghan, MySQL contributor and leader of MySQL engineering efforts at a few of the world’s largest Internet companies

Beginning Silverlight 4 in C# - pdf

Book Description
The growing popularity of Web 2.0 applications is increasing user expectations for high-quality web site design, presentation, and functionality. It is into this climate that Microsoft is releasing Silverlight 4, the third and latest iteration of its cross-browser web presentation technology. Beginning Sliverlight 4 brings you to the cutting-edge of Web 2.0 application design and includes plenty of practical guidance to get you started straightaway.

Silverlight design tools have important differences compared to those used to create Ajax and JavaScript functionality. Robert Lair takes you on a tour of all the tools, including:

• Microsoft Expression Design, which plays an important part in creating Silverlight assets.
• Microsoft Expression Blend, which is used to build user interaction for Silverlight elements.
• Microsoft Visual Studio, which manages the interaction between designers and developers, providing the coding environment for "nuts and bolts" wiring.

Once you've mastered the basics, you’ll move on to gaining a more in-depth knowledge of some of the new features introduced with Silverlight 4, including H.264 protected content, right-click event handling, a new printing API, and support for the Managed Extensibility Framework.

What you'll learn

• Discover the tools needed for Silverlight 4 development, the roles each plays, and how they interact to produce a seamless result.
• Understand the fundamental concepts and techniques that lie at the heart of every successful Silverlight application and how to apply them to your own projects.
• Explore the new features and coding practices Silverlight gives to you as a developer that sets it apart from other web-development tools.

Who this book is for
This book is for anyone with an interest in web development. A basic familiarity with web development and simple C# coding is useful, but by no means a requirement. This book will teach you everything that you need to know.
