Overview
Learn to create applications using AWS services today. Hands-on Development in AWS teaches core concepts for using AWS services to create real-world applications. Explore the fundamentals before diving into database and storage, messaging, and execution services so you can create the applications you need to develop. Expert trainer and author Nick Garner will give you hands-on practical experience to create an application and run the application in the cloud. This is a lab-based approach to learning that gives you the opportunity to learn through exercises.

It’s important to note that this course is not intended to teach you to how program or develop applications. The goal is to help you understand the services that are available to run the applications you develop through live demonstration. The demonstration mode is accompanied by a free AWS Trial Account for easy access.

Hands-on Development in AWS covers the core development topics you need to really create applications while providing a deeper exploration of cloud services so you can fully understand the work. Topics covered include AWS foundations services like identity and access management and Virtual Private Cloud, databases and storage services, execution services of AWS, and finally cover the development of apps in AWS including AWS API, AWS SDKs, CloudFormation, and AWS Developer Tools.

Topics include:

  • Module 1: Course and AWS Overview
  • Module 2: AWS Foundational Services
  • Module 3: Database and Storage Services
  • Module 4: Messaging Services
  • Module 5: Execution Services
  • Module 6: Developing in AWS
