By Barrie Sosinky | Cloud computing is a vast topic that encompasses many different subjects. To adequately describe what cloud computing offers, we must discuss infrastructure, service-oriented architectures, social networking, unique protocols, open and standard Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), and dozens of other topics. Even a large book can address many of these topics in only an introductory manner. However, this book tries to give you at least the basic information you need on all the related topics, as well as pointers to additional information sources.
