Overview
Are you a software developer looking to further your knowledge of AWS and their cloud-based system? We have created this course with intermediate-level developers in mind to give them a better understanding of AWS, and how to use their SDK (software development kit). The AWS SDK is a kit for browser-based development, this allows developers to access AWS through running code (usually JavaScript) in a browser.
Along with learning the key concepts of AWS, the best practices, and how to troubleshoot, we will also teach you Identity and Access Management (iAM), Amazon storage systems, how to use identity framework for authentication, using ElastiCache for application scalability. 3 months of lab access is also included with this course.

This course teaches experienced developers how to programmatically interact with AWS services to build web solutions. It guides you through a high-level architectural discussion on resource selection and dives deep into using the AWS Software Development Kits (AWS SDKs) and Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) to build and deploy your cloud applications. You will build a sample application during this course, learning how to set up permissions to the development environment, adding business logic to process data using AWS core services, configure user authentications, deploy to AWS cloud, and debug to resolve application issues. The course includes code examples to help you implement the design patterns and solutions discussed in the course. The labs reinforce key course content and help you to implement solutions using the AWS SDK for Python, .Net, and Java, the AWS CLI, and the AWS Management Console.

Reviews
Ken was absolutely amazing in his delivery for the training class. He was patient, collaborative and clear in his communication approach
Ken was great at answering questions and going into finer details on a specific concepts
Loved how Sean would be open to give examples and draw block diagrams outside the set script to help clarify the concepts. He is really good! Thank you!
Sean is very knowledgable. He answered all the questions and available through out the course.
Ken was a phenomenal instructor. He went above and beyond to ensure he tailored the class to individuals in the audience which made the class more interactive and enjoyable. He shared industry stories from his years of experience as a software engineer and demonstrated in-depth knowledge in course topics. He provided metaphors to help the class memorize materials (such as the batman suit for IAM roles) and also came prepared with live demos to show the technologies we were studying. It is clear he is very passionate about teaching and technology from his attitude and that genuinely made the course more enjoyable. I learned a lot from this course and I am looking forward to growing my AWS knowledge. Thanks for everything Ken!
