What do you really need to know about cloud computing? It's basically a marketing term (think Web 2.0) used for all programs, actitivies and applications that you do on an internet browser as opposed to your desktop.

Practical introduction to cloud computing

In the information technology world, the clouds keep rolling in. But this is hardly a cause for concern.

Cloud computing is here and this serves as a solid text not only for computer science majors and professors but also for those interested in understanding the way cloud computing works as it is currently a concept that everyone seems to have trouble defining.
This would be a great edition to the collection.

Expected much more out of this book. Much of the content was repeated in slightly different ways throughout the book. The author glossed over the issues of what cloud computing is all about.

I expected a more technial book.
