AWS Developer: Building on AWS

This course is part of the AWS Developer Series. You will learn how to develop and deploy AWS applications. You will be working in Python on Linux throughout the course to create a web app using your developer skills and AWS tools.

Your AWS instructors can help you get started with AWS, create an account and install SDKs. We will be using hands-on exercises throughout the course to create a web app.

Both the Amazon EC2 as well as AWS Lambda compute service will be used. You can also learn about object stores by saving images and video to Amazon S3. Amazon Rekognition will be used to analyze images and videos. The Amazon Relational Database Service will manage the collected data. Along the way, you will refactor the application, increase availability via load balancing, improve performance and durability with messaging and queuing using the AWS SNS messaging services and Amazon SQS queueing service.

Your instructors will be introducing you to AWS concepts like Regions, Availability Zones and Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) throughout the class. The AWS SDKs and AWS CLI will be used to programmatically access the AWS service APIs.

You will have the opportunity to meet fellow students and AWS staff through class discussions. After you've completed this course, you can move on to the next course, which will teach you how to deploy applications in the cloud.
