With more and more developers moving to application development and deployment in the Cloud, there are some techniques and best practices developers should take into account while going through this transition. Cloud is not ‘just someone else’s computer’ and in order to deliver high quality applications, developers should familiarize themselves with those important capabilities. Having 10 years of experience with Cloud Computing, I would like to share my knowledge with new and experienced developers. Gain insight into a variety of aspects, from security to cost to better software architecture, including real life stories and live examples of how to do it right, and what should be avoided.
