Course Description

Ah, "The Cloud." 

Seems like everyone is talking about it, and everyone is using it. But can you really explain it to a co-worker, boss or client? 

By the end of the course, you will be able to articulate what the cloud really is and how it is relevant to your business and professional goals. You'll be able to comfortably and confidently explain cloud computing to others who may not have a high level of technical expertise.
