Please read my entire situation and post!!! Cloud computing project- is it feasible in 3 months?

2:26 pm in SOA Answers by SOA Guru

The project should involve an application which utilizes a cloud, similar to Amazon EC2 thus showing the increased efficiency while running.

Me and My friends knowledge(on behalf of my friend.. actually he knows more than in this list :D )
Computer Network basics– mainly from Fehrouzan
Languages:
Front End: Java,C,C++, Visual C++,PERL(learning now)
Backend: DBMS(SQL),

My Questions

Suggest a book/other resource which enables me and my friend to grasp the basics and go in detail when it comes to coding itself.

A book with a sample application would be really useful- mandatory.

My timespan is at the max, 3 months, so is it achievable?

Anyone who has undertaken such projects in cloud computing, plz mention the resources used and the skills required to pull this one of.
