My regular job involves cloud analysis for VMware so I get to spend most of my time looking at various public cloud offerings, including our own vCloud Air as well as AWS, Google Cloud, and MS Azure. I studied CS in undergrad and while I`m no a coder by profession I do try to keep up on what`s going on in the developer`s world. Recently, I`ve been tinkering with Ruby on Rails and MongoDB to create a small app for my friends and I to use, and to get a real feel for building an app on a modern web framework with a NoSQL style database and some of the fancy new HTML5/CSS3 tricks. ©
