Readiness of future software engineers for use of the cloud computing in professional activity

In this paper to define the essence of the concept of “readiness for future software engineers to use cloud computing”. Training in higher education of software engineers based on the widespread use of information and communication technology is the subject of domestic and foreign scientists, however, the use of cloud services in the educational process poses a number of teachers of problems whose solution requires additional research. For example, the construction of a technique of training of future engineers-programmers cloud technologies should be based on the necessity of formation of readiness of students to the use of cloud-based solutions. In the process of studying the scientific literature on the problem of definition of readiness are two basic approaches to the determination of its essence it has been allocated. In the context of the functional approach, the willingness is treated as a particular state of mental functions, which provide a high level of achievement in the performance of a particular activity; under the personal - like training result (fitness) in a particular activity. Completion of the analysis of the scientific and pedagogical literature on the subject of specificity of the phenomenon as a whole preparedness and readiness for professional activity in particular, allowed on the basis of functional and personal approaches to define the concept of “readiness for future software engineers to use cloud technologies in their professional activities”.
