I've been reading a lot of stuff lately about cloud computing. I just really dig my practice now, Salesforce.com. There is a lot to learn, and everything is available online. You'll just have to take the time reading, pause a while to be critical about it and just try it out on readily available Developer Edition orgs. Different authors say different things, sometimes, you'll just don't know which one is right. I remember one time, I had this discussion with a workmate - is Cloud Computing synonymous to SaaS?
I attended this talk about Cloud Computing. There, it was discussed how cloud is realized in different tiers - IaaS, PaaS, SaaS and BPO. All the while, it came to me that these tiers where innate in cloud, that they were exclusive to each other. But turned out, these concepts were out there before cloud emerged on the news. I could just recall some people using thin and thick clients in their projects back in college. These technology continue to challenge what the right now is. Every now and then, something comes up and becomes a phenomenon. I just think Salesforce.com will really be something in the near future.
I just passed the Spring '12 Release Exam. It just reminded me how my career changed the time I passed the Force.com Developer certification. If I just push a bit more, I believe it will continue to soar. It just keeps me to move forward, because I believe it will push me forward. A year ago, I was not as ambitious as I am now. I just found a reason to be ambitious, and I'm holding on to that. No one can really tell if I will find what I'm seeking for, but it's good enough for me that it keeps me going. On the cloud, I certainly am.
