If you had a hard time keeping up with the discussion AND focusing on your grilled shrimp skewer, you weren’t the only one! We’re in luck though because Brad and Karen included very interesting PowerPoint presentations as a part of the discussion and you can download their presentations here: Private Cloud and Amazon Cloud
ENJOY!
Don’t forget about the December social! We’ll be posting details soon and look forward to seeing you there!
