Python Textbook: "Cloud Computing with Python"

Have been away from the book review for past few days while pushing out the bare-bones companion website for Cloud Computing with Python. This book is designed for as a introductory Python textbook, with the additional features of having instructional material on loading Python programs to the Google cloud, and having a moderate review of cloud computing. The website itself is much more cloud-rich, and I'll endeavor to keep it current.

The book will meet the needs of three different groups:
1) College professors / students who are teaching / taking a first-semester programming course, where the language of choice is Python,
2) College professors / students who are teaching / learning Python as a "second langauge," and
3) Self-study IT folks, techno-geeks, and even "hands-dirty" managers, who want to get current with BOTH Python AND cloud computing. A "one-stop shopping" place.

More to come.
