This video is the resource I wish I had when I was trying to start learning AWS over 10 years ago.

After nearly a decade as a software engineer at Amazon, this video contains tips on how I would approach learning AWS in 2023. First, we cover some basic prerequisite knowledge and the Fundamental concepts/AWS services you need to learn to be successful in the cloud. From there, I discuss my framework for accelerating the speed at which you can learn and apply AWS to real-world problems. Finally, I conclude with some important resources/tips that every aspiring AWS student should know.
