Overview

Dive into the world of cloud development with our comprehensive course designed for seasoned developers seeking to enhance their abilities in programmatically handling Amazon Web Services (AWS) services to develop web-based solutions.

Over the span of the course, participants will be immersed in a comprehensive exploration of architectural strategies for resource selection, along with in-depth training in utilising AWS Software Development Kits (SDKs) and Command Line Interface (CLI) for constructing and deploying cloud-based applications.

Learners will gain hands-on experience by building a prototype application, mastering skills such as setting up access rights in the development environment, implementing business logic with AWS core services, configuring user authentication, deploying on the AWS cloud, and troubleshooting application issues. To facilitate practical application, the course provides code examples that embody the design patterns and solutions discussed.

Additionally, the course's lab sessions are crucial in reinforcing the primary content and enabling participants to apply their knowledge using various AWS SDKs for Python, NET, and Java, as well as the AWS CLI and AWS Management Console.
