▶ A PRACTICAL START WITH CLOUD / AWS

I highly recommend Stephen Mareeks AWS courses. If you’re a total beginner I recommend the “Certified Cloud Practitioner” otherwise the “Associate Developer”. If you plan to take the exam, I also highly recommend Jon Bonso’s practice exams:

Why I recommend Stephane and Jon’s courses:

▶ WRITE A CLOUD RESUME THAT LANDS YOU THE JOB

There is no better book which explain Tech Hiring and how to write a resume that passes tech screening processes than “The Tech Resume: Inside out”. I am referenced in the book and my review (Twitter) is on the homepage. It’s free if you’re unemployed and is priced based on your location.

▶ BUILD YOUR RESUME (AS A PROJECT) USING CLOUD TECHNOLOGY

The “Cloud Resume Challenge” is a 12 step. I love the challenge, I’m an active member of the Discord, and I have a whole playlist on YouTube to help you complete the challenge. There is a book (it’s optional), but I strongly recommend it. Get the “Cloud Resume Challenge” book:

Thank you, Lou. This will help me on my journey to become a Cloud Engineer/Dev. This is quite insightful and will help anyone interested in Cloud on areas to focus on.

What about the data surprised you the most? What questions about getting into the cloud do you still need answering?

Let me know and hopefully I can make it a topic of a future video ! ✌
