Cloud Computing, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), is extremely daunting from the outside. As a person with no formal technical education, I felt completely lost when I began looking into a career in Cloud Computing in middle of 2018.I focus on creating resources without the use of technical jargon, and when appropriate, explaining those jargons so we can all begin having dialogues using them.Now, I've taken it a step further, and created an educational community where we can learn together, and go from "Zero" to "Cloud Technologist." This is a community and a learning platform with webinars, resources, career development, and networking.Have a question about AWS SageMaker? Let's see if one of the seasoned veterans can help you get it answered!

Hi, I'm Hiroko! As a person with no formal technical education, I felt completely lost when I began looking into a career in Cloud Computing in middle of 2018.Unfortunately, finding resources I could understand without having "technical vocabulary" was tough. So I ended up creating awsnewbies.com to help myself learn.In 2020, I created video courses titled "Introduction to AWS for Non-Engineers" in partnership with LinkedIn Learning. The target audience being the "lay person"; someone without a formal technical background. Since its publication, the courses have reached over 370,000 learners, and are now available in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.In 2022, I published "AWS for Non-Engineers" with Manning Publications to help people access Amazon Web Services through yet another medium.

Interested in learning about Amazon Web Services, but not sure where to begin? Resources you've been looking at say they're for "absolute beginners," but still expect you to have technical background knowledge?We have courses, resource websites, books, and more to help you get started on your AWS Cloud journey at Intro to AWS and AWS Newbies!
We even recently published a book to get you from "Cloud...computing..?" to sitting for the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner Exam with Manning Publications: "AWS for Non-Engineers" (2022).
