[Tutor] aws/cloud questions..

[bruce]

Evening group!

Hope wee'all doing well, having fun. yada yada..!!

I'm considering taking a dive into the "cloud" with an app that would
be comprised of distributed machines, running py apps, talking to db
on different server(s), etc..

So, I was wondering if anyone has good docs/tutorials/walk through(s)
that you can provide, or even if someone is willing to play the role
of online mentor/tutor!!

Thanks

First you need to learn, more or less cold, how to build an app
that runs on one machine, talking to a db. Then from one machine
talking to another with a db there.

This is a lot of work. You should be very busy for about a month
if you more or less do nothing else. If you need to learn python
as well, as what this list is for, add another 6 months.

Then, when that is done, go ask this question again, not in
tutor but in python-list. Saying that you have learned how to
make a client server, etc .... with the things you will have
learned over the last 6 months.

This 'distributed machines and different servers' idea you have, well,
it makes your problem one not for beginners, indeed there are lots of
experts who aren't experts _about this_ who could not solve it, in the
same way that brilliant cellular-biogists don't do solid-state physics
all that well, and vice versa.

If this is what you want to create, we can definitely teach you enough
to do it, but it will take a lot of time. And you need to work on
something hugely simpler first.

still, it is a grand vision! :) I am all for that! :) dreams are great! :)

OK, Where are you starting from?
Can you already program in Python and use databases?
Can you program in any other languages?(which?)
Have you written any web apps?
Which OS do you use?

What you want to do is do-able, but it's complicated because
it involves a lot of different technologies. We need to know
just how many of the bits you already understand before trying
to put it all together.

The list works as a collective tutor/mentor.
There are no tutorials that cover all of what you want in one
place, but there are many different tutorials that taken together
will do it. But we need to know the starting point.
