Amazon s3 is or should be an important tool in your online business toolbox. The problem is the enormous learning curve you need to deal with in order to get any of the basic benefits like increasing site speed & security while decreasing the bandwidth costs.

My name is Steve Dougherty and I've been an s3 user since 2008. Over the years I've had many headaches due to the difficulty of locating answers to the many questions I had about my Amazon AWS s3 account.

I eventually came up with the solutions, & in most cases I developed shortcuts along the way.

I've taught 100's of people how to master the basics of Amazon s3.

The first Amazon s3 training course I created was back in 2009, shortly after I began mastering it myself. Over the years, Amazon s3 has changed and I've developed even more tips & shortcuts to help cut that learning curve down to almost nothing.

As a result, you will not have to deal with the trial & error nor the headaches that I had to struggle with.

These 30+ lectures are 2023 fresh.

I take pride in the quality of your training. So you will Not Hear Any 'UM-BUTS' OR 'BUT-UMS' in these videos. Part of my goal with your training is quality content and enjoyable delivery.

It doesn't matter how great the content is if you can't stand the audio.

This course is a series of over-the-shoulder style video screen captures that detail everything from introducing you to Amazon AWS & Amazon s3 and signing up for your free first year of AWS & Amazon s3, to securely hosting your website and streaming your videos from Amazon s3.

You'll discover tricks like how to create time expiring URLs using FREE 3rd party tools that are shown to you step-by-step with no techie stone left unturned.

Upon completion of this course, you'll be able to easily navigate through the otherwise confusing AWS management console. You'll know why and how to create additional users & groups and assign specific permissions (policies) to each of them.

Lessons area great, just obsolete on consoles as this was recorded in 2020. Amazon made a lot of changes at this time. Most of the steps are now shortened, and some of the steps that are supposed to be completed in this video are now standard, pre-selected in the latest AWS console, including terminologies but still pretty easy to navigate and compare the old version to the latest one. Instructor a bit too fast for me (speech), personally, but overall great class.

yes was a good match and learning a lot, but wish it was a bit slower explaining, going a bit too fast.

Content is outdated. I thought it would be complete info on S3 but cos its outdated, it seems irrelevant.

I'm starting a new role using AWS, and this helped me get the foundation to follow conversations fairly quickly. Thanks!

The course covered the important material for someone learning S3. Steve did a good job explaining why things mattered. He was also super responsive when I asked a question. Four stars instead of five because the videos are dated. Much has changed about permissions and policies. The policies provided in the videos still work, but I had to spend considerable time researching changes to settings in order to complete the course.

Interesting exercises, mostly using CloudBerry client. Little bit outdated on console navigation but it's quite didactic Good suggestions of tools orbiting S3.

Excellent explanations and demos. Could use a little updating, since much has changed in the 2+ years since this course was released.

Amazing course to start with S3. I really like the demo and I think I would be more beneficial if you could share some slides in text format.

I wasn't able to take screen shots so that I could keep a powerpoint of the content (on my mac all I ever got was a black rectangle in lieu of the screenshot. Very inconvenient.

Very clear instruction on setting up and using S3. I like the part about masking Url and preventing hotlinking.

This course is a breath of fresh air...one of those rare instances where the instructor REALLY knows his way around the subject matter AND is able to explain technical issues so that anyone can follow along. If you've ever taken a class on s3 and felt none the wiser for it, because it's all code-talk explained with more code-talk, then this is the class for you. It won't leave you stranded! I, for one, will jump at the chance if this instructor does more AWS classes :)
