In June I had the pleasure to speak at the Chicago Alt.Net meetup about Amazon Web Services. The talk covered the basics of cloud services, provided a high-level overview of how Amazon’s web services work and showed how easy it was to integrate AWS into a project via the .Net SDK that Amazon provides. For some of the attendees it was their first technical look at the platform. I hope that they found the talk informative and piqued their interest enough to explore the platform further.
