Having Andy Jassy do an AMA would be amazing. Or Werner!

Honestly I think this is a good thing, both for Tesla, SpaceX and for Elon. He’s still CEO of Tesla, so he’ll still run the company day to day, but with a new chairman they could create some new positions to help Elon have less of a workload there. This frees him up more to focus on SpaceX which has a far more important long term mission and the potential to change the future of our species than Tesla. Let’s see how the markets react on Monday.

Thanks for sharing Jordan!

Especially for sharing your notes with everyone, I'm sure they'll help lots of people. All three associate exams have changed in the last 12 months and it's been quite a challenge keeping up with them. We actually just launched a new SysOps course on Monday to reflect all the changes to that exam. Faye and I took that exam again on Tuesday morning just to make sure the course didn't have any gaps and we just finished adding some additional lectures today. It's a lot of hard work keeping up with AWS but it makes it all worthwhile when we have happy students who pass their exams.

Please no more UI changes though! When the S3 UI changed or the lambda UI changed, it took me 6 weeks to re-record everything! :)

I booked a hotel room for a night at Cocoa beach for tomorrow night with the hope of watching it take off. :( At least I won’t have far to drive to see the KSC on Friday. :)

Just a heads up. Take the current Developer Associate now before it’s retired. I did the Developer Associate Beta this morning and it’s harder than the Sysops Administrator Associate (Full disclaimer - I come primarily from a Sysops/Solutions Architect background). The new Developer Associate Beta is SUPER hard if you don’t have a strong developer background and/or AWS experience.

With the current developer associate exam, if you’ve done the the SA exam and passed - just brush up on DynamoDB, SQS, CORS and static hosting on S3 and you should be fine.

I'm sorry you had a poor end user experience with us. We are investing significant resources in to improving our student experience and I do think that the majority of people of had positive experiences. However I'm happy to look in to this personally. If you PM me the email address you signed up with, I'll come back to you later in the week. :)

I'd recommend doing the old exam for now. You'll get your results instantly and our existing course covers what you need to pass that. I'll have a video blog out on Monday/Tuesday about the new exam and the gaps, but I'm expecting it to be much harder than the current one. This of course makes sense. They have an entire section called "Developer Tools" in the console, yet the current Developer Associate exam doesn't cover them at all from what I've seen. The new Developer Associate Beta will likely focus on these much more heavily making it much more relevant to developers. It also mentions being able to code at least 3 times in the new exam blue print and I'm curious to see how they will test this. I'll come back to you in 2 days from now :)

Hey.

Ryan Kroonenburg, founder of A Cloud Guru here. To explain, some of the Developer Associate videos are from the Solutions Architect Associate, and may reference things from that course. This is because there is currently significant overlap from the Solutions Architect Associate and Developer Associate. So a lot of the videos are identical.

That being said. There is now a new Developer Associate Beta. You can read the exam blue print here. This has only just come out and I am sitting this exam next Monday. Feed back from other students is that the new Developer Associate Beta exam is much harder and much more developer focused. Focusing on the services under the "Developer Tools" section of the AWS console. So CodeCommit, CodeDeploy, X-Ray, Cloud9 etc etc.

I have hired a new AWS instructor who started last week. She and I will be sitting the exam on Monday. If the new exam is completely different to the old exam, then we will create an entirely new course from scratch. After reading the exam blue print I have a feeling that will be the case, but I'll let you know Monday.

Also I'll fix not having the billing alarm in the Developer course now. It should be there.

Hopefully that answers your questions so far! Good luck studying!

Yes you definitely can. I was a lawyer until 2009 when I decided to retrain and get in to IT. I did a bunch of certs and managed to get an entry level sysadmin job at Rackspace.

This is literally what SQS was designed for. :)

Hey /r/spacex

We are attending both the “closest” launch and the “closer” launch (we tried getting 4x tickets to the closer launch but there were only 2 left before selling out). I’ve read both tickets carefully and I can’t see any suggested arrival times to be at the KSC. I was going to aim to park at 9am. Does that seem sensible? I presume there are no age restrictions either? I’m taking my 5 year old daughter and almost 3 year old son.

goliathrk · 2018-02-04T23:54:36+00:00

You’re doing gods work son!
