*This month's meeting details:*

*When:*  Dec 21, 2010 @ 7:00pm
*Where:* *Holiday Inn Select Atlanta Perimeter Dunwoody
*4386 Chamblee-Dunwoody Road
Atlanta, GA 30341

*Who:*  Burr Sutter
*What: *Become a Cloud Developer

*Description:*

Description: Cloud computing is practically all the IT press, analysts and
vendors can talk about these days. Many predict that cloud computing is the
next "big thing" and in just a few more years every software developer will
need cloud computing skills. In this fast moving session, we will discuss
how the move to Platform-as-a-Service impacts Java developers, what the "big
vendors" like as Google, Amazon, VMWare/SpringSource and Red Hat/JBoss are
investing in and what skills you will need to successfully navigate this
paradigm shift. Is this as big as when we moved from the green (or amber)
screen to Windows-based client-server? Or is it as big as when we moved from
fat clients to browser-based applications? Or is it simply just the next
logical step in the evolution of your IT department? Let's get together
before Christmas 2010 and have a great discussion!
