Clear, hands-on books that help you understand complex technology and apply it in the real world.
Featured Book
Developing on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is a hands-on guide to building, deploying, and operating modern cloud applications on OCI, from your first resources all the way to production-ready architectures.
What the book is about
This book focuses on development on OCI: how to turn ideas into working cloud solutions using OCI’s core building blocks (networking, compute, storage, databases, identity) plus cloud-native services (containers, serverless, API management, streaming, events, observability). Instead of treating services in isolation, it connects them into realistic end-to-end architectures.
A running example, AuroraRetail 360, ties the chapters together, showing how a typical digital business evolves: from a simple app to a scalable platform with automation, security controls, and event-driven workflows.
What you will learn
By the end, you’ll be able to:
- Design OCI architectures: compartments, IAM policies, networking (VCNs, subnets, gateways), and secure patterns.
- Build and run workloads on compute and containers (including OKE) and understand when to choose which.
- Create serverless and event-driven systems with Functions, API Gateway, Streaming, Events, and Notifications.
- Automate infrastructure with Terraform and OCI Resource Manager, and adopt repeatable deployment workflows.
- Work with data services and pick the right storage/database options for app needs.
- Operate in production: logging, metrics, tracing, alarms, and troubleshooting with OCI observability tools.
- Apply real-world security: least privilege, secrets, network segmentation, and governance practices.
Who the book is for
This book is for:
- Software developers who want to build cloud-native apps on OCI (backend, platform, integration-focused).
- Cloud engineers / DevOps practitioners moving from another cloud to OCI or standardizing OCI development practices.
- Solution architects and technical leads who need practical guidance and reference architectures.
- OCI learners who prefer “build it like a real system” over purely theoretical service overviews.
If you’re comfortable with basic programming concepts and have some familiarity with web APIs or cloud fundamentals, you’ll get the most out of it, and if you’re new to OCI, the book is structured to ramp you up quickly while keeping things practical.
Welcome
I write English IT books for professionals who want more than abstract theory.
My books are designed to help you understand today’s most important technology topics in a way that is clear, practical, and directly useful in the real world. From core concepts to implementation-focused guidance, my goal is simple: help you learn faster, think more clearly, and apply technology with confidence.
If you want expert knowledge presented in a way that is accessible, relevant, and built for real professional impact, you’re in the right place.
