WOW! I'm really pumped about getting exposure to Amazon Web Services. I'm fascinated (again) by the bevy of resources that are just a few clicks away from anyone with an internet connection. I will definitely use Amazon Web Services for current and future endeavors. The interface is a bit overwhelming at first mainly due to the massive amount of options, but once you get started it clears up and becomes easier to navigate. I'm also impressed by the useful and extensive documentation provided by Amazon, which really helped me get started.
I enjoy the level of monitoring available through the Amazon infrastructure, and can see the value in having such useful metrics at one's fingertips. The AWS Elastic Beanstalk is also another extremely powerful feature of the AWS toolkit for Eclipse. I look forward to developing and deploying web applications via this framework.

The MIT program continues to excite me. If you are interested in exploring established as well as emerging web technologies this is the program for you. Not only does the program provide the technical perspectives, it also delivers on overall big picture business thinking as it relates to technology. The hands-on and collaborative nature of the program so far is a huge plus as well.
The main things I have learned recently are in the data management/statistical realm. We've had the opportunity to test and play with interesting software packages such as RStudio. Its intriguing to discover how different organizations are using these technologies as part of their corporate strategy. One really interesting thing is the continued rise of open source software into the enterprise space. I would have never imagined that Fortune 500 companies would be using open source applications to run their statistical and data analysis operations. This is really exciting for entrepreneurial minded individuals and will lead to numerous opportunities in the future. Its even more exciting that I will be in a position to capitalize on some of these opportunities perhaps....thanks to the UGA Masters of Internet Technology program at Gwinnett. Looking forward to next semester and beyond.
Go Dawgs, Beat Bama!
