Audience for This Book

I have written this book for technologists at all career levels. Whether you are a developer who needs to write code for the cloud, or an architect who needs to design a system for the cloud, or an IT manager responsible for the move into the cloud, you should find this book useful as you prepare your journey.

This book does not have a ton of code, but here and there I have provided examples of the way I do things. I program mostly in Java and Python against MySQL and the occasional SQL Server or Oracle database. Instead of providing a bunch of Java code, I wanted to provide best practices that fit any programming language.

If you design, build, or maintain web applications that might be deployed into the cloud, this book is for you.
