My Twitter Hacking list

Taking advantage of the new Twitter List feature, I just created a hacking list focusing on relevant programmer news, from architecture to coding, including high scalability systems and a dose of cloud computing. I tried to avoid including "people" with too much noise or tech news style. For such lists, I would recommend scobleizer lists: you can not find more exhaustive lists than his!.

This list is going to evolve by adding or removing "people" based on noise level and technical relevancy. Any feedback or suggestions is welcome!

Google Speed initiative

Let's make the web faster

via code.google.com

Great initiative with already a good set of tutorials and compilation of tools, and potentially an active community.

The IBM Exploratory Stream Processing Systems group is working on highly scalable stream processing platforms and applications

  • Parallel and high performance stream processing software platform capable of scaling over a range of hardware capability
  • Agile and automated reconfiguration in response to changing user objectives, available data, and the intrinsic variability of system resource availability
  • Incremental tasking in the face of rapidly changing data forms and types
  • Secure, privacy-compliant, and auditable execution environment
    • via domino.research.ibm.com

    And take a look at the IBM press release announcing System S a "stream computing" software directly based on this research.

    Art of scalability - Scalability principles

    Good introduction or refresher for people having to deal with scalability issues or architecting some services that will need to be scalable. See the series at hfadeel.com. Couple this series with his Performance Anti-Patterns post and you'll get a good overview.

    Comment: those posts are just scratching the surface of scalability, and is missing for people starting to deal with scalability a list of good resources providing more specific details and information. I guess I could do something here...
