I bought about 10 books on Cloud Computing as I needed to `hit the ground running' for a position which covered everything to do with Cloud Computing and SaaS (or XaaS as I should say). Despite the rather dull cover this book is an excellent read and covers many issues related to Cloud Computing with excellent examples and a broad range of subjects. It's not weighty or over technical and covers many of the basic points well. I'd actually completed my Masters on delivering government services online and thought I'd replace achademic bulk with real-life examples. This book is easy to read and relevant. It covers current Cloud applications, various industry services and some related and fascinating subjects such as the green benefits of using Cloud.

I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I read Nicholas Carr's book which was a great primer but this book really bootstrapped my knowledge and understanding of topic.
Thank you!!

I am one of the people that found Christopher's vids and website via a YouTube search/connection one morning looking to try and find a little bit more out about Cloud Computing. His easy to watch introduction vids led me to buying his book and I'm glad that I did. In fact it has to be my surprise book purchase of the year in that it is easy to read but leads you into thinking about the future of 'computing' in a way that takes you gently from your (certainly mine) way of thinking and into the new landscape.
A really well written book that also seems to be aimed at IT decision makers and business owners rather than students, which means that you can really see how to use this in your own business. It's definitely not trying to tell you what to do but to think about the opportunities/threats that the next few years will throw at all of us.

Informative
Quite informative introduction to the cloud subject. But the book does not go beyond just that: introduction.
It is also obvious that the author is a futurist. Read more
