Hong Kong Skyline & Harbor
The cover image, by Lee Yiu Tung, shows a portion of the
Hong Kong skyline and harbor. According to The Skyscraper
Center, Hong Kong is home to 315 buildings at least 150
meters in height: more than any other city on Earth. Nearly
three-fourths of Hong Kong’s skyscrapers are residential,
helping to explain why more residents live above the
14
th
floor than in any other city. Hong Kong’s tallest building,
the International Commerce Centre, is 484 meters high—
more than 40 meters taller than the tip of the Empire State
Building’s spire. At night, during good weather, visitors can
experience “A Symphony of Lights,” a light and laser show
incorporating dozens of buildings on each side of Hong
Kong’s Victoria Harbor. The Harbor itself—still named after
Britain’s Queen Victoria nearly 20 years after Hong Kong was
restored to China—holds 263 islands, as well as watercraft
ranging from cargo freighters to cruise ships, and tourist
ferries to traditional Chinese sampans and junks.

❖
This book is dedicated to the A-Team. Four men, sent to
Pivotal for crimes they didn’t commit, who now roam the
countryside in search of developers in need of guidance:
innocent people who need help moving their software to the
cloud. If you need cloud apps, they will find you.
Without these brave men, the act of writing software would
have become so boring and unbearable that this book
would never have been written. In fact, the authors may have
given up their lives of service to the cloud, only to while away
their remaining days as baristas in a smelly hipster coffee shop.
The A-Team is:
Dan “Hannibal” Nemeth
Chris “Murdock” Umbel
Tom “Face” Collings
Kevin “B.A.” Hoffman
