I have seen these guys perform live several times in the Oklahoma City area. They are fantastic! Very high energy, great sound, and lots of fun. I only wish they would come back to OKC(hint hint, wink wink). The CD is great. I just ordered the second CD; Lather, Rinse, Repeat; I can't wait to listen to it. If it is as good as the first, I know I will love it. Great bunch of guys! Good luck Geno, Mario, and Kevin!

Reading the first couple of chapters will reveal the general challenges and what to consider - when you starting thinking about clouds from a decision making perspective. Beyond that, it makes more sense to audience more interested in moving their applications to a cloud environment.
