Using TypeScript to Manipulate AWS CDK Training Overview
TypeScript easily integrates into AWS infrastructures, making it an ideal language for managing AWS CDK (Cloud Development Kit). This Manipulating AWS CDK Using TypeScript training course teaches developers how to use TypeScript to build complex cloud applications. Attendees learn how to define AWS assets, including S3 Buckets and Lambdas, and then use TypeScript to deploy, manage, and remove them from an AWS account using CDK commands.
