<br/><br/> The computing world today is in the middle of a revolution: mobile clients and cloud computing have emerged as the dominant paradigms driving programming and hardware innovation today. This title focuses on this dramatic shift, exploring the ways in which software and technology in the 'cloud' are accessed by mobile computing devices.
