The Pragmatic Cloud for Developers

Friday morning, I gave the keynote at the Emerging Technologies in the Enterprise conference on Cloud Computing, narrowed down to what’s interesting for developer-types.

You can get the actual recording from the Chariot TechCast (get the MP3 directly), or check out a rehearsal recording I did:

Here’s the official description:

In the IT industry 2009 was apex of cloud promises and hype. The early, now cliché successes captured everyone’s attention and many vendors turned on a dime to deliver something – anything – with the word cloud in it. At the same time, the aging hype-silos of development like Agile development, rails, open source, and Java were cut back on their meal-rations unless they could connect with “cloud.” We’re hardly “done” with the cloud, but there are now endless deployment options, taxonomies, technologies, and distractions that are more smoke filled rat-holes than clouds.

This talk deals with the state of things now and how you can take start pragmatically getting along with things in the current, cloud-injected development-scape.

The raw slides are, of course, available as well. This recording should show up in the IT Management & Cloud Podcast feed, so feel free to subscribe to that feed to get it.
