This book is intended to help you make that transition in Cloud Platform and build a foundation that will make you comfortable in such a flexible and changing environment. You can consume this book in two different ways. You can read it the way you read most books, starting with chapter one and reading all the way to the end. If you do, you will get a broad and experimental understanding of the entire stack of services that Cloud Platform offers. This will give you the assets you need to design and tackle todayÕs challenges when it comes to cloud computing.Conversely, you can use this book as a travel companion through your ideas, projects, or work, jumping between chapters based on your needs at specific points in time. For example, suppose you decide to start gathering and processing analytics in your company. You can open Chapter 10 of this book, learn about Google BigQuery, and get your system set up and ready in a few pages. Or consider a different project: you want to build something very fast in order to get your product or service out as soon as possible. In that case, you can jump directly to Chapter 5, where we cover Google App Engine, or Chapter 14, about Google Cloud Endpoints, and get your back end set up in a matter of hours. DonÕt worry; when we think it is relevant for you to read about other technologies, we point you to the right resources inside and outside of this book.This book is targeted at two classes of developers: those new to cloud computing and those new to Cloud Platform.
