Why cloud?
The evolution of cloud technology has drastically reduced the time and effort to ship an idea to the market. You neither need costly physical servers nor expensive maintenance engineers. Moving to the cloud takes care of everything. The best part is you only pay for what you use. This is a boon for individual developers and start-ups.
What is in this book?
Ever wondered how apps like Uber, Whatsapp, Snapchat, Instagram, Feedly, etc. work? Uber provides you locations of available cars real-time. Whatsapp, Snapchat lets you send text, photos and videos instantly. Instagram enables you to share photos. Feedly gives you news of your interest. This book teaches you to build such cloud apps.

Vicky Regi
Former Student Ambassador At Google
I was trying to understand the basics of "Cloud Computing", referred various titles which made this topic a little challenging. Since I am a beginner I was pretty sure it is going to be a challenge, But then I figured every step and every single thing you require is in this book. From the programming codes to the SQL queries it was put across in such a way i could actually figure out, Like! "This is this, and that is that". It was all so amazing to read and know as to "Yes" we can do all this.
Syed Amanat
Programmer
This book is the best if you want to learn about "What is Cloud ?", "What is Amazon Web Service", "How to deploy your product without spending even a single penny? ", The book just doesn't give you much theory but it involves you into its mini news room project .The Author has focused firmly on beginners which makes it much more easier to understand if you have even a little experience in programming. I have read a lot of books on cloud amongst all , I highly recommend this book.
