Cloudy Thoughts by SyntaxC4

Three years ago, I began learning about this thing called “The Cloud” at that point in time I made a decision, much like I made as a teenager to get into Web Development in the first place. The thought that lead me down this career path was “Huh, this web thing is really going to take off, I need to be a part of it.” When I heard about Cloud Computing a similar thought ran through my mind, “Wow, this cloud thing is really cool, this is definitely the way of the future.”

A year into working with Windows Azure, I urged other developers to start researching the cloud [Get Started for Free] as it was still early enough to be ahead of the curve and set themselves out from the rest. Enter Windows AzureConf.

I cannot say for certain if I influenced any of these individuals in particular , but what I can say is they have also identified that the Cloud was future.
