“Those that know me know I come from an infrastructure engineering and virtualization background.  Cloud is new to me, too.  What better way to learn than to learn together! On this channel, we’ll be doing a weekly stream on Friday’s at 12pm Eastern exploring all the various technologies in the market and putting them into play.  Using my personal account, we’ll sign up for various cloud services, learn how they work, and build some cool stuff.”
