Hi,

I'm interested in web development and by that I mean the bigger projects like facebook or twitter. I know the basics of java, css, php and mysql. I know there is a lot more out there. I read about it. But I don't know what the purpose is and how to put in place.

Things like: Scribe, thrift, casandra, Unix/Linux, shell/perl/python scripting, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, non-relational NoSQL datastores, JVM, nginx

I want to know why they need it, how they use it and what te purpose is.

What I need is a book like technical background of facebook for dummies or so. Are there any books or websites that explain this from scratch?

Thank you!
