Who Is This Book For?
This book is for three sets of people:
• Application developers wanting to run code on Cloud Foundry • Dev-Ops people who want to install, maintain and manage Cloud Foundry instances • Developers wanting to contribute, fix bugs and hack on Cloud Foundry itself
If you are an application developer, start from the beginning of this book. If you are a dev-ops person who is already familiar with running applications on CF, you can skip to the ``Installation'' chapter. Developers who are familiar with Cloud Foundry but want to know how to contribute can skip to ``Hacking on Cloud Foundry''.
