CLOUD COMPUTING TECHNOLOGY

Students in this course are expected to pro-actively read and learn about the topics covered in the class. While some of the reading is required (and some will be listed below as the course progresees), students are expected to read extensively on their own, and learn beyond what is given in the reading list.
