Hey everyone! I'm currently a full-stack developer, and I've never taken any AWS courses before. I'm thinking about starting with one of Adrian Cantrill's courses since they're on sale right now. Given my background, which course would be the best starting point? Also, do you have any tips on how to effectively navigate his content?

Check out this site for some free content: https://skillbuilder.aws/. It’s got some great resources to get you started without spending a dime.
If you're new to AWS, you should definitely go through Adrian's courses. He includes practice questions at the end of each chapter, which are super helpful. Many people also buy practice exams from Tutorials Dojo; they're a solid resource, and the questions are often very similar to the real ones. If you can pass those exams, you'll be set!
I recommend starting with the Cloud Practitioner course first. It’s pretty straightforward, and you'll get a 50% discount on your next exam. If you want something more hands-on, go for the Developer Associate or Architect Associate courses. The Developer one is more practical, while the Architect one covers a broader range of topics. Tutorials Dojo is great too, especially for their detailed explanations on practice questions.
I think you should go for the Solution Architect Associate (SAA) course. It covers all the essentials and will give you a solid foundation.
Thanks for the advice!
