Setting up MySQL Replication for High Availability

MySQL Replication is a feature of the MySQL server that allows you to replicate data from one MySQL database server (called the master) to one or more MySQL database servers (slaves). MySQL Replication has been supported in MySQL for a very long time and is an extremely flexible and powerful technology. Depending on the configuration, you can replicate all databases, selected databases, or even selected tables within a database.

In this article, by Alex Davies, author of High Availability MySQL Cookbook, we will cover:

• Designing a replication setup
• Configuring a replication master
• Configuring a replication slave without synchronizing data
• Configuring a replication slave and migrating data with a simple SQL dump
• Using LVM to reduce downtime on master when bringing a slave online
• Replication safety tricks

Installing and Managing Multi Master Replication Manager(MMM) for MySQL High Availability is covered seperately.

Setting up GlassFish for JMS and Working with Message Queues

The Java Messaging API (JMS) provides a mechanism for Java EE applications to send messages to each other. JMS applications do not communicate directly, instead message producers send messages to a destination and message consumers receive the message from the destination.

The message destination is a message queue when the point-to-point (PTP) messaging domain is used, or a message topic when the publish/subscribe (pub/sub) messaging domain is used.

In this article by David Heffelfinger, author of the book Java EE 6 with GlassFish 3 Application Server, we will cover the following topics:

• Setting up GlassFish for JMS
• Working with message queues

Setting up a Complete Django E-commerce store in 30 minutes

In order to demonstrate Django's rapid development potential, we will begin by constructing a simple, but fully-featured, e-commerce store. The goal is to be up and running with a product catalog and products for sale, including a simple payment processing interface, in about half-an-hour. If this seems ambitious, remember that Django offers a lot of built-in shortcuts for the most common web-related development tasks. We will be taking full advantage of these and there will be side discussions of their general use.

In addition to building our starter storefront, this article aims to demonstrate some other Django tools and techniques. In this article by Jesse Legg, author of Django 1.2 e-commerce, we will:

• Create our Django Product model to take advantage of the automatic admin tool
• Build a flexible but easy to use categorization system, to better organize our catalog of products
• Utilize Django's generic view framework to expose a quick set of views on our catalog data
• Finally, create a simple template for selling products through the Google Checkout API
