DevOps Girls with the massive support from SEEK are hosting a day-long bootcamp to explore all things Serverless!
If you're looking to be buzzword compliant, 'serverless' is on that list. We wanted to create an opportunity for people to learn about the technical concepts and get hands-on exposure in a super supportive and encouraging environment.
This is a one day bootcamp, that will introduce participants to AWS, Lambda, event-driven architecture, infrastructure as code, static website hosting, Serverless Framework.
Programming knowledge is helpful, but not required - code will be provided for you. Basic command line skills would be very helpful and we would recommend completing a short code academy course on using the command line - (See Resources below)
Throughout the day, participants will first be introduced to concepts at a high level. Then you will get to practise yourself. We will start from deploying a simple website that will have some todos (classic!) and gradually move to more complex things, like an event that will be triggered when a todo is overdue, added, edited or removed.
What will you expect from the day? You'll have a team of supportive people from our industry dedicating their Saturday to your learning and development.
You'll be able to learn in a multi-modal format, including hands on and you'll have access to all the learning materials.
Things you'll need:
- a laptop! (but if this is not possible, send us a message)
- an AWS account - (See Resources below)
-
Click-Ops Todo: walkthrough of manually creating a todo app through the AWS web interface

For people starting out in cloud technology the AWS Tech Essentials course is free. It's a bit of a time commitment, but worthwhile for people getting started in learning cloud technology.
