There are quite a few places to get demos for cloud computing. You Tube has a few videos. Multiple hosting companies also have demos. If you like Microsoft their website has demo available.
There are many places to get a cloud computing demo, if you just want to watch a short video on it I would recommend a YouTube video. If you want something more in depth then a YouTube video you can order it through Microsoft.
The best way to learn about cloud computing is to see it in action. There is only so much that you can learn from having someone tell you about it. You need to see things to really understand them. For this reason, you should watch cloud computing demo videos on the Internet. These will not take up much of your time, but they will give you a better grasp of the technology than anything else.
I found three Cloud Computing magazines you might be interested in. They are; Alltop - Top Cloud Computing News, Cloud Computing Journal and TMC's Cloud Computing Magazine. I hope that you find these choices helpful.
Any computer website that has cloud computing on it should be able to keep you updated with news about cloud computing technology. I recommend Microsoft.
There is a good explanation of cloud computing at http://www.infoworld.com/d/cloud-computing/what-cloud-computing-really-means-031. I think you can learn most of what you need to know there.
Cloud computing is better then normal grid computing as its cheaper to buy, use and maintain. Cloud computing can offer web hosting also which grid computing can not.
There is no normal cloud computing platform. Cloud computing is a new computer operating system that is becoming popular.
You can either go to: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing or searchcloudcomputing.techtarget.com/definition/cloud-computing for a full definition of what cloud computing is.
Cloud computing papers are papers that give the basic definition of cloud computing and explain it. Cloud computing is just a way that involves connectivity to the internet.
Cloud computing or grid computing depends on the task at hand. If you want to focus on a single enormous task, then go with grid computing. Cloud computing is more for multitasking.
