Course Overview
Code with AWS and Typescript by creating serverless projects with CDK, CloudFormation, Cognito, Lambda and Amplify!
AWS and Typescript are 2 of the most demanded technologies in today's IT market. AWS Cloud Development Kit - CDK brings a great new development experience.
Now you can use your preferred programming language for your business logic, cloud infrastructure, but also for the UI, with React.
Now you can build serverless applications much easier!
This AWS & Typescript Masterclass course is what you need to build your apps like a pro, learning from an programming active instructor!
What you can expect from this course:
In depth coverage of AWS Cloud Development Kit - CDK
Setup
CDK constructs
CDK versions
Deploying and managing CDK apps
Best practices with CDK
Infrastructure as code with AWS Cloud Formation
Console view
Cloud Formation Deployment stages
Resources management
Cloud Formation Outputs
Cloud Formation Parameters
Build highly scalable and cost efficient apps with the serverless architecture
Serverless computing services
AWS Lambda:
Write, test, bundle, deploy, configure
Use the best practices
Go deep into advanced techniques with Lambda and CDK
Use Typescript and the NodeJS as environment for Lambda
AWS DynamoDB:
Basics and console access
DynamoDB queries
DynamoDB sdk (TypeScript) calls from AWS Lambda
CDK generic constructs with DynamoDB, ApiGateway and Lambda
AWS Cognito:
User pools
Identity pools
Console access
IAM role management inside Cognito
Cognito groups for fine grained access control
AWS S3 for file storage
Build a monitoring stack with CDK - CloudWatch alarm, SNS topic and Web-hook lambda - Slack channel
AWS CloudWatch X-RAY
CDK testing with Jest:
Declarative tests
CDK test matchers
captors
CI/CD with CodePipeline:
CDK stages, test and deployment to production
Another important point of this course is the Typescript programming language. It is fast, flexible, powerful and easy to learn.
Typescript takes the flexibility of JavaScript and the programming principles of C# and delivers a great coding experience.
This course uses Typescript for:
Cloud infrastructure with AWS CDK
Business logic with AWS Lambda
Web application UI with React
We finally can write all our app in one language, no more JSON, or YAML, or strange scripts, just Typescript, your favorite language!
Why this course stands out from other Udemy courses:
Beyond the basics - after finish, you can directly use this knowledge into production code
Practical knowledge - presentations are kept to a minimum, we focus on what is really important
Logical and flexible structure - take the course at your own pace
Fast paced, concise, most typing cut out - focus on explanations - respect for your time
Code changes in each lecture on Git with code diffs
Big font, dark background, fullHD content, this way it is readable even on a small screen or even tablet.
Lifetime access
Certificate of completion to present to your current or prospective employer
Q&A active instructor
Instructor:
My name is Alex Horea, I'm an active senior web and Cloud developer and I want to pass you the knowledge I wish I had when I was a beginner. I strongly believe that practice is the best way to learn, and in this course we will be practicing TypeScript in 4 ways:
As cloud infrastructure with CDK
Business logic with AWS Lambda
UI with React
Cloud helper topics like monitoring, testing and CI/CD, with CDK
Go beyond the theory and learn from an active instructor, aligned with today's programming demands!

I love the practicality of this course; every lecture builds beautifully on the last one. It has a perfect balance of examples and explanation of the framework and how it works.

The content is good considering how rare to find a CDK course. Alex goes slowly and building up on simple things. I think there is a room of improvement when explaining code. Sometimes the instructor writes a bunch of code without properly explaining it. In that case, I would prefer for him to go through the documentation so the student do get past it without understanding what each function/variable do

It's alright, the facilitator speaks in an understandible way, the course covers basic topics - exactly what I need to get onboarded to CDK field.
