Creating web sites that scale to serve hundreds of millions of users with acceptable response times is a very challenging task. The main focus of this subject is on cloud computing concepts and tools that are needed to make web sites scalable. This subject assumes the technologies HTML, CSS and basic Javascript have already being taught in CSE4IFU.
