In this repository I've included some of the certifications I've earned to improve my skills as a software developer.
Some organizations I've earned certificates from include:
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world's most widely adopted cloud, offering over 200 fully featured services.
AWS Certifications help learners build credibility and confidence by validating their cloud expertise with an industry-recognized credential.
They are also useful for helping organizations identify skilled professionals to lead cloud initiatives using AWS.
Code With Mosh is an online learning platform created by Mosh Hamedani.
His courses cover a wide range of programming languages such as Python, JavaScript, Java, and more.
The courses offer practical knowledge and provide hands-on exercises and projects to reinforce the concepts being taught.
FreeCodeCamp is an open-source community that offers developers a structured software development curriculum that focuses on project based learning and critical thinking rather than merely following along with tutorials.
HackerRank is a technology hiring platform used by over 2,000 companies worldwide to help tech recruiters and hiring managers objectively evaluate talent.
Adrian Cantrill is seen by many in the AWS certification space as the best teacher of AWS.
He offers lengthy courses that focus on acquiring skills in the AWS ecosystem.
His philosophy is that courses tailored to passing certifications are a waste of time.
He instead teaches real-world skills and covers topics so deeply such that passing the certification exams is merely a byproduct of completing his courses.
Udemy is a popular online course provider that arranges coursework into a series of modules that can include videos, exercises, and assessments.
The University of Finland offers a prestigious series of MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) that are designed to mirror the rigor and depth of their on-site courses.
These courses are often recognized as equivalent to traditional college courses and, in many cases, can even be redeemed for college credit.
