What people are saying

solutions architect

To be fair, the Developer Associate exam version I wrote (end of Sept 2019) is unlike Solutions Architect version is wrote a few weeks earlier which is likely why people are saying it is a "difficult" exam.

There is a lot of overlap with the solutions architect course, but the content should be shared.

In addition to some content being nearly two years old, I feel this course overlaps with the Solutions Architect Exam more than the actual Developer exam does.

This course underplays the knowledge required to pass the Developer exam if you have the Solutions Architect certification.

But, unlike the Solutions Architect exam, it is far from sufficient to pass the Developer exam, in my opinion.

I had already completed the A Cloud Guru - Solutions Architect - Associate course, but decided to take this course as well before committing to the SA exam.

I first passed my Associate Solutions Architect cert and am days away from writing my Associate Developer cert.

This course follows and extends the great 'AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate'.

Besides this, congratulations on providing such an incredible course :) I've taken the three A Cloud Guru courses available through Udemy (Developer, Solutions Architect, and SysOps) and so far I find them all to be very engaging and informative.

Already attained the Solutions Architect Associate.

I just want to say that I took the devops and solutions architect associate course together , and took the exam in 2 consecutive weekends and passed them both on the first try, thanks a lot!

Some of the overlap with solutions architect course is a little bit confusing, but once I understood this I stopped fretting about it and just focused on the developer stuff.

It basically is a copy-and-paste of the Solutions architect course so the lectures are out of order.

I have just passed my Solutions Architect Associate Dec 2018 and hopefully I will pass this Developer Associate exam too before end of year - fingers crossed.

looking forward

clears the concepts and looking forward for latest videos and most importantly the videos which are outdated with latest AWS component updates.

looking forward to book and pass Aws certified developer exam video quality is very poor, not able to see anything clear which shown in Lab practice it's really good and helpful.

Looking forward to next chapters.

Thanks, Guru Prakash looking forward to learn Maybe Course is good , however please add more question for preparation of exams Very general and easy to understand.

So, now I'm looking forward to pass my exams in the following couple of weeks!

Looking forward to this.

Now I'm looking forward for my exam and for the next course.

Looking forward to taking the Architect Associate now.

Feel this course is going to cover all the topic in-depth which is really nice and also looking forward to view the "Don't Freak Out" sessions I passed my AWS CDA exam today with the help of this course.

Looking forward to more from ACG!

Looking forward to obtain all associates level certificate soon.

Looking forward to acing it and getting another cert.

I wish I get my money back and looking forward for any suggestions on the best website I can use for the real AWS certification.

I'm really looking forward to the AWS exam after taking the course.

certified developer - associate

If the author removes "Pass the AWS Certified Developer - Associate 2019 Exam" from the "What you'll learn" section then this will better match what the course provides.

Edit: 06/19/2019 Finally completed my AWS Certified Developer - Associate yesterday.

I passed my AWS Certified Developer - Associate Exam today and this course was my main reference.

For those who would like to take the Certified Developer - Associate Exam, I highly recommend using this course and their practice tests.

This examination is an excellent introduction to the cloud platform and everything amazon provides as a service, however to even think this course can come close to helping you pass the AWS Certified Developer - Associate examination is a laugh.

This course helped me tremendously in passing the AWS Certified Developer - Associate certification.

You have successfully completed the AWS Certified Developer - Associate exam and you are now AWS Certified.

You can now use the AWS Certified Developer - Associate credential to gain recognition and visibility for your proven experience with AWS services.

Also, some content was blown through quickly that was very complicated, such as S3, and the section about DynamoDB I just want to thank Ryan for putting together a comprehensive course that was EXACTLY what I needed to pass the AWS Certified Developer - Associate exam.

AWS Certified Developer - Associate 2018 course on Udemy (this course) 2.

I took and passed the AWS Certified Developer - Associate 2018 exam on Monday with an 809 scaled score.

I have taken this course and followed all instructions given by Ryan and passed AWS Certified Developer - Associate in first Attempt.

I passed the AWS Certified Developer - Associate exam on September 2017.

I found Certified Developer - Associate training course shares a lot with Certified solution architect - Associate course.

step by step

Faye skips very fast on almost every topic that is actually Developer related but LOVES to stop and repeat in detailed step by step how to create IAM user and attach policy (in docker lab she did it 3 times - single lab!).

I am learning essential skills about AWS and the instructors go through lessons step by step clearly and the labs help lot.

Very happy with the step by step approach.

Despite of these issues in the labs, I do feel that I am getting a good overview towards completing the course even if I might not be able to follow the labs step by step.

Step by step instructions are given.

Following along step by step has been easy and invaluable.

It is extremely informative and they go through, step by step, everything that needs to be done.

Excellent explanation of step by step progress towards AWS certifications Getting into the groove of AWS.

To fast + No walthrough at end Good Presentation Step by step explanation with hands-on Lab The detailed description by the tutor made me to rate 5 on 5 great course!

Much Informative and step by step learning of launching an EC2 instance.

easy to follow along

The information is well-presented and the scenarios are straightforward and easy to follow along with.

I like that the videos are short 15-20 minutes on average and his labs are easy to follow along with Lecture content is great.

Lectures are good, easy to follow along with.

solution architect associate

I took this course immediately after taking the Solution Architect Associate exam.

Although the course is educational, unlike A Cloud Guru's Solution Architect Associate course, I feel the Developer course did not properly prepare me for the Developer exam.

Passed Solution Architect Associate Level.Now going for Developer Associate Felt some areas could be more detailed ...like Ryan does mention about SQS long polling and when it should be done but does not go into detail about how to do it (the name of attribute/parameter) ..

First, I have completed AWS Certified Solution Architect Associate course.

I had already taken Solution Architect Associate Course and it was clear.

I have already taken Ryan's solution architect associate course and he is simply superb.

I went through Certified Solution Architect Associate course.

subject matter

I also have concerns that the course content might end up outdated given how fast the subject matter changes and that the Udemy course is obviously not getting updated frequently enough.

Probably need a bit more explanation on how much the services are being used by the developers Going further down into the courses, the explanations have been more detailed and satisfactory Ryan does an excellent job simplifying a rather complex subject matter into a form even a layman to AWS can easily grasp!

The course contains a brief explanation of the subject matter.

This is a great course for learning about AWS and specifically the "Developer Associate" exam It is good insight and very easy to understand Excellent, contains very important information for AWS study Great Course to focus in on the subject matter needed for the specific exam.

I really appreciate that the subject matter is covered thoroughly.

Instructor is very good and knowledgeable on the subject matter.

Good course good one He has a fantastic speaking voice and comes from a clear place of authority on the subject matter.

I don't feel like I'm being read straight from a Powerpoint or just being given a brief introduction to the subject matter.

THe instructor is very engaging and speaks easily with great knowledge of the subject matter.

white papers

Study the white papers, get some actual practice with programming, and detailed options for the services and you'll pass (Passed with the help of this course and other material mentioned).

Follow it up with additional reading on white papers/FAQs and more importantly quality mock tests.

My fellow colleagues told me that I have go through lot of white papers in order get certified in any AWS certs.

The course needs to break those white papers down as much as can reasonably be achieved, and I am fine if I have forty extra videos to watch.

You have to study the white papers and take practice tests to be fully ready.

I wish there was more overview of the white papers/FAQ like the SA course, but still comprehensive and enough to pass the exam.

The rest is FAQs and White Papers.

Thanks for making it easy to pass, would be nice if there were some theory notes, for eg: like the white papers on the AWS website.

top notch

However, the production is not always top notch and there are audio volume swings between videos, repeated audio segments (where the author has left in re-takes) and other things that seem quite sloppy.

The content included is top notch and Ryan and Faye are very knowledgable in the field.

Ryan’s classes are always involved , catches your attention and gets your attention The Alexa course seems a little advanced and out of place Want to see windows instance as well A++++, ACloudGuru courses are high quality, top notch courses that prepare you for certification and real life use.

Ryan is a top notch educator that knows how to prepare his students for the future.

Quality is top notch Keep Up the good work guys .

Top notch content and presentation Nice concise examples which helps to understand the concepts quickly Step-by-step instructions are very helpful in understanding the topics.

Im in good hands Audio is a bit dodgy at times but rather good course All A Cloud Guru courses are top notch Great good great The instructor is slow in delivering the information and not engaging.

scenario based

Thanks to acloudguru :) there should be more scenario based question, which accrue in real time some light on VPC also which are now being asked in exam.

It was tough and questions were all scenario based.

Having more practise tests or scenario based questions would be useful Less info on SAM (Serverless Application Model) which is quite useful needs to be included as there are questions in the exam relating to SAM Course well divided into minute pieces and well covered required topics and I surely recommend take this course.

I passed the exam and I guess that was the intention of the course, I however found some questions in the exam which were very realistic and practical scenario based which the course did no cover.

Please include some question with multi select and scenario based which are getting asked in new exam pattern.

The main reason I found is the course content is not covering all the topics like CloudFormation and there are practical scenario based questions which are irreverent of course content.

It would be helpful to include some harder multiple answer questions such as those found in the exam and more scenario based questions, but all in all completing the course should be more than enough to pass.
