Thanks, exactly the sort of resources I was looking for. Perhaps I failed to introduce my questions correctly. I have been a system admin for years on military server farms (100+ servers) and have been an embedded developer for a few years more. Currently I am expending my area to web. After writing a few basic web sites that have all the vanilla stuff (Users/Messaging/Pretty JS&AJAX&JQuery stuff). I am trying to learn how to build large scale sites. * High scalability [more then one server. both web&db]. * Deployment [how to upgrade/patch software on a working site with thousands of existing users with minimal disruption] * Testing [both automatic and non-automatic, including different web browsers and OSes] * Any other thing in this category Thanks for your info !

It seems you know how to program and how the web works, but want to know how it all fits together (testing, deployment, scaling etc). I think you will find Jacob Kaplan-Moss's presentation of all the pieces of building a web application. It is geared towards Django, but it should give a good overview of what goes into a webapp. And if you are using Django or Python, all the better! http://www.slideshare.net/jacobian/django-in-the-real-world http://www.slideshare.net/jacobian/django-in-the-real-world
