Want to stay competitive in an ever-changing market?
Programmers must keep an eye on the latest trends to remain competitive in ever-shifting job markets. Technology and tools are constantly evolving as well as the way programmers work. Every so often, our understanding of programming needs to be renewed or replaced just like an operating system or a library.
How is your job going to change in the era of Cloud Computing?
With the arrival of Cloud Computing there is so much happening you might find yourself thinking of going back to school to further your knowledge. The aim of this book is to give software developers an overview of how Cloud computing will affect their day-to-day jobs and professional careers.
Would you like to know more?
The purpose of this book is not to stand as an all-inclusive and comprehensive guide to cloud computing (there are heavier and more expensive books for that), rather to point you in the right direction for key areas of focus in order to remain competitive and marketable, as a software developer, in the Cloud age.
This book is ok for those who want to throw some terms around to impress people. It's also ok for those looking for a brief albeit incomplete introduction to cloud computing. Why did I call it incomplete? I can't imagine a book that does not include AWS data storage options in its cloud databases section.
This book is certainly not ok for those looking for a comprehensive overview of technologies and for those looking to dive deep into particular technologies. The book did not promise this, so I don't hold this against the author. It's still 2 stars for what I needed the book for.
