And what does that imply for development organizations? In this eye-opening book, sustainable software advocates Anne Currie, Sarah Hsu, and Sara Bergman provide a unique overview of this topic—discussing everything from the likely evolution of national grids to the effect those changes will have on the day-to-day lives of developers. Ideal for everyone from new developers to CTOs, Building Green Software tackles the challenges involved and shows you how to build, host, and operate code in a way that's not only better for the planet, but also cheaper and relatively low-risk for your business. Most hyperscale public cloud providers have already committed to net-zero IT operations by 2030. This book shows you how to get on board. You'll explore: • How the energy transition is likely to change hosting on prem and in the cloud—and how your company can prepare • The fundamental architectural principles of sustainable software development and how to apply them • How to determine which parts of your system need to change • The concept of extending hardware longevity and the part that software plays * Book description: © O'Reilly: https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/building-green-software/9781098150617 TIMECODES 00:00 Intro 01:40 Collaborative efforts to cover various aspects of sustainability in software 02:45 Powering the Future of Software with Renewable Energy Solutions 04:18 Long-term solutions for a sustainable energy infrastructure 05:54 Meet Anne’s co-authors – Sara Bergman & Sarah Hsu 07:29 Outro RECOMMENDED BOOKS Anne Currie, Sarah Hsu, & Sara Bergman • Building Green Software • https://amzn.to/3IKopW5 Ioannis Kolaxis • 101 Green Software • https://www.kolaxis.dev/book-green-software Bill Gates • How to Avoid a Climate Disaster • https://amzn.to/4iWtvPI Mehdi Khosrow-Pour • Green Computing Strategies for Competitive Advantage and Business Sustainability • https://amzn.to/2YXbI7j Lässig, Kersting & Morik • Computational Sustainability • https://amzn.to/3APBW8r Zbigniew H.
