Details
"Narrowing the skills gap, one chapter at a time."
NOTE: Season 2 will be led by Tim Le, Senior Percolator. This second season of AWS Snack will focus on learning Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Why AWS?
Amazon is coming to town!
NOTE: AWS Snack, Season 3 will follow Season 2 and will focus on Getting Started with Alexa Voice Service (AVS).
The book we will use for Season 2 is the same we used for Season 1:
Learn Amazon Web Services in a Month of Lunches
David Clinton, author of our textbook, will be joining us to help answer the more challenging questions as they arise.
Self-Study Group Format
The format of a virtual self-study group is as follows:
NOTE: There is no classroom instruction. There are no webcasts. There are no scheduled appointments of any kind.
• Each participant obtains a copy of the same textbook: Learn Amazon Web Services in a Month of Lunches
• Each participant commits to read one chapter per week, complete the exercises and post links to your completed work.
• Each participant obtains assistance by posting questions to a discussion area set up on the Boston PHP Message Board for each chapter. Each participant will receive feedback, as well as, a weekly group e-mail update.
Once you have access to the book, you simply proceed at a pace that best fits into your current work/life schedule.
You DO NOT need to live in the Boston area to participate.
