Do you recommend any good book about distributed systems and cloud computing?

Microsoft's Patterns and Practices group has put out several resources in the last year that you might want to take a look at. They generally take an over-arching approach. Here is a link to one of their resources on building applications on Windows Azure.

There are no book per se but there are a lot papers out there on distributed computing and cloud computing which can come handy. Otherwise if you want to go for books there is a three book volume from tenebaum titled distributed networks.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
