Teaching Cloud to the Programmers of Tomorrow
This document discusses Robert Gordon University's use of cloud computing in its computer science curriculum. It describes how courses from first year HTML to final year projects utilize cloud servers for teaching web programming and deploying student work. This allows students to focus on coding rather than server maintenance and eases collaboration. Using the cloud improves students' employability by gaining experience with tools like Git and deploying to platforms such as Microsoft Azure. It also benefits lecturers by increasing security, stability and trackability compared to maintaining physical servers. The cloud facilitates research projects through easier code and data sharing between collaborators. However, cloud services require flexibility as no single solution meets all needs.
