_{Amazon Web Services (AWS) essentials and architecting for Data Analytics (Part 1)}

        _{This course provides an introduction to AWS and offers a broad overview of terminology and concepts. The course will focus on the AWS web console, CLI tools, and data storage needed to be successful in data management on AWS. This course is intended as a prerequisite for the companion NLI course, Data Analytics using Amazon Web Services (AWS).
        This course will first give a broad overview of AWS terminology while giving a tour of the AWS web console. We will talk about users and user permissions and introduce the concept of least privilege. We will introduce the AWS CLI tools, and give an overview of what they can be used for. Then we will learn how to use these tools to do basic tasks like storing data and giving a user access to that data.}

_{Building a full-stack Serverless Web application with React and AWS}

        _{Serverless computing allows you to build Web applications without managing or maintaining servers. Using AWS, we can build and deploy responsive applications in the cloud with built-in high availability and flexible scaling capabilities. In this workshop, we will learn how to build a full-stack serverless Web application using React and several AWS services, including AWS Amplify, Lambda, AppSync, DynamoDB, etc. We’ll start the workshop with a quick overview of serverless computing and AWS, followed by creating a React application, integrating with AWS managed services and deploying this application in AWS.
