Building Applications in the Cloud: Concepts, Patterns, and Projects - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Chris Moyer is a recent graduate of RIT, the Rochester Institute of Technology, with a bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering. Chris has more than five years experience in programming with a main emphasis on cloud computing. Much of his time has been spent working on the popular boto client library, used for communicating with Amazon Web Services. Having studied under the creator of boto, Mitch Garnaat, Chris then went on to create two web frameworks based on this client library, known as Marajo and botoweb. He has also created large scaled applications based on those frameworks.

Chris is currently Vice President of Technology for Newstex, LLC, where he manages the technological development of migrating applications to the cloud, and he also manages his own department, which is actively maintaining and developing several applications. Chris lives with his wife, Lynn, in the New York area.
