Looking to get more hands-on practical knowledge? The #100DaysOfCloud challenge has a repository of micro-projects just for this purpose.
For example, when I wanted to get more hands-on with AWS Lambda and Amazon API Gateway, I found this video tutorial by Eric Johnson and also learned about Amazon DynamoDB and Amazon Cognito in the process. When I had a few questions, I found this series of blog posts (also by Eric Johnson) and learned a little more about AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM). I was starting to piece the parts together, but I wanted to dive a little deeper and learn more about SAM. I found this Hello World tutorial helpful and also discovered more sample SAM templates here.
Want to strengthen your data skills? AWS Data Hero Lynn Langit also has created “Hello world” for the data services.
As I mentioned in part 1, reviewing what you've learned each week is important to retaining the info beyond just rote memorization. I found the A Cloud Guru summary videos for each module useful for reviews but often at the end of the week, I just didn't want to be watching yet another video. Instead, I've started not only reviewing my own handwritten notes but also the Open Guide to Amazon Web Services with its basics, tips, and gotchas.
