aws-cdk-examples VS Projects

If you are in aws, look at CDK there are modules that make this pretty easy https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-cdk-examples/blob/master/typescript/lambda-cron/index.ts

I am not sure where to post my CDK question. I am trying this project specifically https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-cdk-examples/tree/master/python/existing-vpc-new-ec2-ebs-userdata

There are a ton of other example projects here for the AWS Cloud Development Kit: https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-cdk-examples Hope this helps, happy coding!

I am looking at examples of the CDK in python for example https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-cdk-examples/blob/master/python/ec2/instance/app.py

The cdk exple repo is also invaluable. I prefer cdk to terraform because it's actual infrastructure as Code as opposed to templating language as Code. There is fear of vendor lock. But I saw a while back that even hashicorp is working on a cdk implementation

For example, an AWS CDK that describes an infrastructure might look like this: https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-cdk-examples/tree/master/typescript/api-cors-lambda-crud-dynamodb

If you're looking for projects that aren't only web-related i recommends you this github: https://github.com/karan/Projects it contains a variety of different projects classified by subject.

Would it perhaps be a better idea to first start with a basic GUI program (example list with ideas https://github.com/karan/Projects) instead of something very advanced like a video editor? As in when learning carpentry first build a table before trying to build a ship?
