Developing Java applications with Cloud Services

Cloud computing isn't just about application deployment. There is also a growing number of cloud-based web services that you can use to develop your application. One of the most well known is Amazon's Simple Storage Service. But there are many others including web services for messaging, relational and NoSQL databases, email and telephony. Using these services allows you to build highly scalable applications without the pain and cost of having to develop and operate your own infrastructure. In this presentation, you will learn how to use some of these web services. We will describe the Java libraries for interacting with them. You will learn about the benefits and drawbacks of these Web services and their typical use cases. We will describe an example application that is built using cloud services.
