So I Heard There's This Cloud Thing

Cloud computing is all the rage. It's everywhere. Everybody around you is using at least one thing in the cloud. How many people do you know who have actually built cloud computing applications?

Right. Thought so.

In this talk we'll look at a bunch of different cloud offerings from Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Heroku, AppHarbor, and more. We'll talk in detail about what the big players are doing and then compare the smaller players to them. We'll offer up some opinions on why you'd use one platform over another and talk about general development/architecture decisions you'll have to make regardless.

If you're considering your cloud strategy this talk will help arm you with enough knowledge to get yourself in trouble. If you think of the cloud as Dropbox and 6 second videos of cats this talk will probably bore you to sleep.
