Helpful Resources for Scaling Web Sites and Applications

There's a good collection of presentations about high-end scaling of web applications at Peter Van Dijck's blog. Most are hosted on slideshare, but there are some mp3s and PDFs as well. It's hard to find quality information on scaling applications of any sort. I used to deal with scalability a lot in the early days of the web. Technologies have changed quite a bit since then so I focus on scalability mostly in the data warehouse and business intelligence world now. I always pay attention when someone goes through the trouble of collecting a set of good quality material like this. I've only seen two of the presentations he's got listed, and never read the O'Reilly book he mentioned, which means more summer reading in the works.
