Abstract

The introduction of enterprise-level cloud computing to the computer science curriculum is necessary to remain consistent with the industry. Cloud computing is rapidly being used throughout industry and there is a current and projected shortage of IT developers with cloud computing skills. University computer science curricula need to provide cloud computing courses to prepare graduates to enter the work place. This paper describes a required cloud based enterprise-level programming course at Elon University that used free cloud based software and hardware and free training materials. This cloud based development course provides an example that could be immediately used at any university to give their students the cloud based skills needed to be successful in the IT market.
