What is cloud computing? If you don’t know, don’t worry, you’re not alone, most people don’t. We’re going to learn all about cloud computing together.
You might be surprised to learn you’ve probably use cloud computing every day. No way you say?
Do you use Google? Microsoft? Netflix? Facebook? Apple? Instagram? Amazon? Pinterest? Coca-cola?
All of them use cloud computing. Surprised?
I’ve been a programmer and writer for over 30 years. I’ve been in cloud computing since the very start, and I’m here to help you on your journey to understand the cloud. Consider me your tour guide. I’ll be with you every step of the way, but not in a creepy way.
This is a short book on purpose. I don’t want to overwhelm you with technical detail. I go slow and easy, so you can build up an intuition about what cloud computing really is, one idea at a time.
When you finish reading, you’ll understand cloud computing. When you hear someone say some new cool thing uses cloud computing, you’ll understand exactly what they mean. That’s a promise.
How do I deliver on that promise? I use lots and lots of pictures. I use lots and lots of examples.
You’ll learn by seeing and understanding; no matter if you’re a complete beginner, someone who knows a little and wants to learn more, or a programmer looking to change their career.
I’m excited. This will be fun. Let’s get started!
