Cloud Computing For Dummies

Over the last year, I have spent an increasing amount of time trying to explain to people what cloud computing is and what it means for their business. With this book, my explaining job just got a lot easier. No, it is not perfect, but it provides a fast way to get up to speed on a very broad topic. Cloud computing has turned into everybody's favorite buzzword, complete with its own jargon (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS and many more aaS-es). Cloud Computing For Dummies provides a plain English introduction to cloud computing. It answers basic questions like: What it cloud computing; How can cloud computing impact my business; and How can you explain cloud computing to your bosses' boss (using small, non-technical words)? Don't be fooled by the "Dummies" title - this book has good technical information as well. In particular, it discusses practical advice for how to handle issues like monitoring, data management and security. In summary this book is good for: - Business people who want a clear explanation of cloud computing with just enough detail to be dangerous - Technical people who are new to cloud computing and want a broad overview that gets them up to speed quickly This book is probably not ideal for: - Technical specialists who want an in-depth guide to specific cloud technologies - Hardcore developers who want detailed information on a particular cloud solution like Amazon EC2

This is a great introduction to Cloud Computing or if you are trying to decipher what this whole "Cloud Craze" is about. There is enough information provided to give a general overview of cloud computing. If you are looking to focus on more advanced topics like security and what not, you may want to find a book that talks about that specifically since those topics can be somewhat involved. If you are looking to whet your appetite with a general overview, this book is for you. It is well written and easy to follow.

We started with Fortran on Main huge computers ( with digital cards).We evolved with laptops and now we are Cloud Computing. We have made a circle, only time will tell if the idea will be a success.

Not too bad, but I found most of my instructions elsewhere.

Bought this book for my husband. He said it is a very relavant book. Because companies are still slow to adopt the cloud he said it will stay current for awhile.

I thought it was too technical for Dummies. Seriously, the subject is boring.... I don't know if there is a better book but this is a Dummies book I didn't like.

i use these books as a training tool - great for teaching someone the basics.

Good overview for dummies

I am so happy, it arrived very quickly 😍

Best book for the beginners who are willing to know about in and around of the Cloud Computing.

Excelente libro, te va llevando desde lo mas general a lo mas particular. Muy bien explicado y el concepto For Dummies, con sus secciones “remember”, “technical tip”, etc. Excelente para quien tiene idea de la Cloud pero quiere reforzar y dominar los conceptos.
