Something about AWS
I'm really impress by the speed of amazon to put so many feature set in to AWS since last June 09 when I first use them. I could still recall at that time they would have S3, EC2, EBS and some other stuff. They dont even have a web front management tool to setup the instances. I had to install a plugin call Elasticfox for firefox, it provide a user interface to play with AWS. if anyone of you still want to try this our https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/11626 or just google elastic fox. Anyway i'm really impress, within 6 month it seem that amazon has focus all it's development team in to AWS. Look at how many types of service it provide now..... I was still setting up a load balancing for the instance back then with monitoring system. Hai if they could just come out earlier, I wont suffer that much back then.

What you hope to learn in CS3216

Sorry guys. I guess I'm the last one to start a blog. Not really use to blogging or write daily stuff in the internet (Guess it's an excuses from my part for being lazy.) I'm not really good at writing stuff so bear with me.

"If I dun see your blog in the next 24 hours, I will throw you out of CS3216 and you'd have to find another way to drop out of NUS. I'm not kidding. :-)" - Prof Leong (my fault. sorry about that Prof.)

What I really hope to learn?

Guess I'm going to fake this out? haha. But the truth is CS3216 caught by attention when it first started. (I didn't know the course name at that time) All I could remember was the first facebook poster that was put up around Soc Basement with Mark Zucketberg photo in it. It was during that time when Google was trying to buy the facebook. Microsoft kind of "blast" Google deal with a higher valuation of the company. Anyway that's history.

Back then I was really excited to find out the reason why facebook was value at such a high valuation and could I not do something similar? haha, it may sound silly but that was a dream I had. I'm been programming at least for 6 yrs from poly till now, for school project, freelance project, job's requirement and recently it got me wondering, why can't i create something for myself?

Guess that the main reason why i join the module. Taking my first step out to try working for myself and it part of school work too, it a beautiful combination!!

I'm more of a technical person and in to gaming stuff. So I guess my blog will be on games and technical stuff that I come across. :)

My next post should be on AWS. I got my chance to play with EC2 when I was setup a "LAMP" server and a Tomcat Apache server for flex, spring, blazeDS integration for a company that i was work with during my NOC trip. So the next few days I'll blog something on that. :) there's alot of tutorial out there to setup EC2.
