This May, I’ll be sharing 20 different starter projects that I’ve built using different AWS services, Serverless technologies, Python, Node.js and more! If you’d like to get these projects in your inbox, you can sign up for my mailing list here.

After signing up, you’ll get blog posts delivered to your inbox with the following:

• Every project’s source code
• An accompanying blog post tutorial for the project
• Access to a live version of the project (if one exists)
• A free 30-day trial to all of my Pluralsight.com courses (reply to the first welcome email and I’ll send a unique trial code your way)

You can check back on this blog post throughout the month - I’ll update it with links to everything. Now let’s take a look at the calendar of different projects you can expect to see this month!

I’m happy to annouce my newest course, the AWS Certified Developer - Associate Level certification prep course.

This course is by far the largest one I’ve ever done and has a LOT of content. There are over 14 hours of videos, as well as a variety of labs, flashcards, and quizzes.

Here’s a sneak peak of what you can expect inside one of my favorite labs:
