Create sound software designs with data structures that use modern object-oriented design patterns! Author Bruno Preiss presents the fundamentals of data structures and algorithms from a modern, object-oriented perspective. The text promotes object-oriented design using Java and illustrates the use of the latest object-oriented design patterns. Virtually all the data structures are discussed in the context of a single class hierarchy. This framework clearly shows the relationships between data structures and illustrates how polymorphism and inheritance can be used effectively. Key Features of the Text* All data structures are presented using a common framework. This shows the relationship between the data structures and how they are implemented.* Obj...

Do you know what to do if your web application goes viral and usage suddenly explodes? This concise guide introduces you to Couchbase Server, an extremely fast NoSQL database that automatically distributes data across a cluster of commodity servers or virtual machines. You'll learn hands-on how to build a Couchbase cluster without changing your application, and how to expand your database on the fly without interrupting service.Discover how this open source server can help your application gain scalability and performance.Learn how the server's architecture affects the way you build and deploy your database Store data without defining a data structureand retrieve it without complex queries or query languages Use a formula to estimate your cluster siz...

Today's highly interactive websites pose a challenge for traditional SQL databasesthe ability to scale rapidly and serve loads of concurrent users. With this concise guide, you'll learn how to build web applications on top of Couchbase Server 2.0, a NoSQL database that can handle websites and social media where hundreds of thousands of users read and write large volumes of information.Using food recipe information as examples, this book demonstrates how to take advantage of Couchbase's document-oriented database design, and how to store and query data with various CRUD operations. Discover why Couchbase is better than SQL databases with memcached tiers for managing data from the most interactive portions of your application.Learn about Couchbase Serv...
