Ruby on Rails or PHP? MySQL or MongoDB? Java or C#? Heroku or Amazon? Will this scale? Will it perform? With so many options, it's hard to make decisions about which technology to use to build and deploy your next web idea or application, difficult to convince others and risky to trust someone else to make these decisions for you. In this course you will learn how to approach this problem, discover the essential vocabulary of technology stacks and learn which questions to ask. This class is equally suited for both a technical and a non-technical audience and will focus on the decision-making process using some real world examples of modern technology start-ups. http://choosingtechnology.eventbrite.com/
