Our Verdict
This course excels in explaining fundamental concepts around serverless computing with APIs and SPAs, but it struggles to keep up with AWS's evolving interface and technology. If you can navigate through outdated code samples and an older console UI, the content still provides valuable insights into the world of AWS and serverless applications. Students should be prepared for some trial and error or seek alternative resources to fill in gaps caused by outdated material.
What We Liked
- Instructor's approach and methodology are excellent for learning AWS services
- Covers the fundamentals of serverless computing with APIs and SPAs
- Real-world example of building an app through stages by integrating various AWS services
Potential Drawbacks
- Outdated content, especially in Lambda functions, SDK syntax, DynamoDB SDK calls, and AWS Console UI
- Code samples do not work due to deprecated versions of node/angular frameworks
- Lack of attention from the course creator for updates and maintenance
