Learning to use EC2 for development is a great way to learn to use it for production.

I disagree. Running EC2 isn't rocket science. With web console, they have made it more simple.

What is little hard is, auto load balancing, shutting down instances based on req/minute, monitoring and stuff. But you don't play with that, if you are using remote EC2 machine as desktop.
