[LRUG] So long!

[Asfand Qazi]

Hi Najaf,

I hope you are well. Hope the move works out for you. As I said when we
chatted (because, of course, you remember every conversation you've ever
had with everyone, I'm sure!) I'm planning on doing something like that
myself, but don't have a successful business to take with me!

Quick question, hope you don't mind me farming your knowledge and
experiences: do you think a training course for developers to learn how to
properly host and deploy their apps to cloud services is something they'd
find useful, and be popular?

Anyway, let us know how it goes, and all the best!

Thanks
