"An excellent introduction. " - by ddavidd on 31-JAN-2012
Reviewer Rating:
The examples are very thorough. An excellent introduction to using open source technologies to create your own solution. This is a short read, only 35 pages, but delivers a good look into the different usability cases that distinguish platform as a service from other offerings.
