Learn To Build an App with the AWS Cloud

I am

so excited to announce that we are very close to opening the doors for a new AWS Journey 🎉 #AWSJourney

I've been working full-time for the last 3 months on this course.

I've realized that creating a good course, that will actually help you get closer to your goals , is very hard. It required a lot of planning when it comes to the structure of the course, keeping in mind the end product that you will build.

I made sure to cover a very wide set of skills that would help you with the whole process.

Course Objective 💪

You've probably already heard of cloud computing, aws, lambda functions, s3 buckets, but maybe have no idea what those things are. Good news! This course serve as an introduction to all of these things and more!

You'll learn how to deploy a cdk template, write your first lambda function, initialize a new s3 bucket to store your assets, save things in a NoSQL database called dynamoDB, connect a react application to your backend and deploy all of it to a CDN!

By the end of the course you'll not only have a good understanding of (some of) aws features, you'll also have a working application deployed live on the internet.
