An article has posted over at
IBM developerWorks titled
Developing a grid application with open source tools:
"Using open source tools for developing grid applications opens up a wealth of possibilities. The first is a very rapid development process, especially if you take advantage of script languages like Perl or Python and deployment environments like Apache. There is also a wealth of examples available that can help you. Examine the advantages and disadvantages of developing a grid solution using open source technology."
As usual with
IBM developerWorks articles, there is a feedback form at the bottom.
