Frequently Asked Questions

  • What kind of AWS services will I learn and use?

    You will learn about and use S3, Lambda, Rekognition, DynamoDB, Simple Notification Service (SNS), API Gateway, IAM, and Cloudwatch.

  • What kind of project does the course focus on?

    In this course, you work for a Passport office that is looking to automate the detection and validation of human faces in user submitted photographs. After evaluating an image, you will store its results, notify clients, and provide APIs for other microservices to access the results. The entire project is built using Serverless AWS components.

  • What programming language will I be using?

    You will be using Python for the coding portion of the course. Some Python experience is recommended but not necessary - any programming experience should do.

  • How long will the course take me?

    The course has approximately 20 lessons and approximately 3.5 hours worth of content.

  • How much will I get charged by AWS when following along with this course?

    If your AWS account is less than 12 months old, you will not be charged a single cent. Otherwise, you can expect a very small charge (guaranteed less than $0.10). You can always sign up for a brand new account to avoid the charge.

  • Will I get to use Infrastructure as Code?

    No. I firmly believe the best way to learn AWS is to get hands on in the AWS console. Infrastructure as Code is better suited once you have a solid grasp on the fundamentals and is beyond the scope of this course.

  • Will I have lifetime access?

    Yes! Each course comes with lifetime access for all course contents including supplemental materials.

  • Do you offer discounts for organizations?

    Please email Daniel directly at daniel@beabetterdev.com to learn more about bulk discounts for organizations.

  • What is your refund policy?

    If you're not happy, I'm not happy. If you're unsatisfied with the content, please email me at daniel@beabetterdev.com within 14 days of your purchase and I will gladly issue you a full refund.
