Who this book is for

This book is aimed at web application developers who want to increase the performance of their software and discover what requires consideration when hosting in the cloud. It will be most useful to ASP.NET and C# developers, but developers familiar with other open source platforms will also find much of it informative.

You should have some experience of working with a framework for web application development, and you should be looking to deploy applications that will perform well on live production environments. These could be virtual machines or hosted by a cloud service provider such as AWS or Azure.
