Learn Aws, Node and Rust

In this course, Chris takes a README-driven approach to build out a Rust CLI that supports content authoring for a digital garden.

Specifically, you'll work through the first command for the CLI, writing files. You start by initializing a new Cargo binary crate through creating the `write` command that allows you to create files (and their contents) to the folder that you set. 

Step by step you'll learn about:
- Handling user input
- Error handling
- Rust Move semantics
- Rust Copy semantics
- Integration testing

...and more!

Rust is a systems programming language that runs blazingly fast, prevents segfaults, and guarantees thread safety.

Creating a Digital Garden CLI with Rust

In this course, we'll build a video course platform using the AWS Amplify Admin UI. 

The Admin UI provides simple yet powerful tools to model database tables, add authentication and authorization, and manage app content, users, and groups. It also offers the ability to manage the application users and content. 

The AWS Amplify Admin UI focuses on data types rather than backend infrastructure. 

All the backend resources generate infrastructure as code (IaC) templates that can be committed in the team repository and integrated with AWS Amplify continuous deployment workflow to manage the different environments.

Before taking this course, you should have a basic understanding of React Hooks.

React is one of the web’s most popular frameworks for building JavaScript applications. 

If you know what you’re doing, React can drastically simplify how you build, use, and maintain code.

Whether you’re a React newbie or you’re ready for advanced techniques, you can level-up with egghead. Explore our in-depth courses, lessons, and community resources to build more powerful applications and crack open your career.

Get Started with the AWS Amplify Admin UI

Amazon AWS is one of the most popular cloud providers in the world, but it can also be daunting to learn thanks to the alphabet soup of service acronyms.

Once you've figured out which subset of services to use, you've got a lot of clicking around to do in order to get things configured.

Not anymore!

With the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK), you are able to configure AWS services from your terminal & editor.

Even better, you can do your configuration, frontend, and backend all with the same language. 

In this course, Tomasz Łakomy will guide you through using TypeScript to complete the lifecycle of an application powered by AWS CDK. You'll see how to start a project, develop it locally, deploy it globally, then tear it all down when you're done.

The services & development approach Tomasz demonstrates in this course are used by countless companies around the world.

Blitz.js is a fullstack React framework built on top of Next.js inspired by Ruby and Rails.

It includes everything from the database to your frontend all inside a single app. Only one development server. Only one thing to deploy.

Instead of having an API Layer, it allows you to import server code into your frontend and call it like like a normal function.

You will have one thing to deploy to a server or serverless.

In this collection, you will learn how to get started with Blitz.js. After watching this collection you will be able to:

* Create a new Blitzjs Project
* Create Pages
* Work with the database in your app

Node.js is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices.

Getting Started with Blitz.js

As developers, we have a responsibility to protect the data our users trust us with. No one wants to wake up to the news that their site was hacked and all of the user accounts stolen.

Security is important, yet it is often overlooked and forgotten.

Part of the reason for this is that security seems hard to get right. This results in developers crossing their fingers and hoping for the best.

In this course, you'll learn how to protect your application by learning how to attack it.

Web Security Essentials: MITM, CSRF, and XSS

Rust is a modern language that is close to the metal. It's got the performance of C, but with a more friendly syntax and community.

It's also memory safe, and ensures your applications are bug free by catching errors at compile time instead of runtime.

These features make Rust a great choice for developing code for embedded systems, web servers, and CLI apps. You can even compile Rust into WebAssembly in order to run it in-browser!

But as the saying goes, "before you learn to run, you must learn to walk".

In this course, you will write your first Rust application.

Starting from “Hello World” you’ll quickly move on to learning about Rust’s types, configuration files, and the `cargo` package manager along with classics like functions, loops, and handling user input.

More Rust-specific concepts like macros and pattern matching will also be introduced.

[Rustlings](https://github.com/rust-lang/rustlings) is a set of exercises that serves as a great introduction to the Rust language. It covers many concepts from the [Rust book](https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/) by asking you to work through sets of exercises.

This collection walks you through Rustlings in a way that explains what's going on in each exercise. We cover everything from basic types to generics and threading.

Learning Rust by Working Through the Rustlings Exercises

Express is a well-known and supported framework for Node web applications. It provides a lot of excellent functionality to process requests, interact with other APIs, handle authentication and return appropriate requests for any client.

This collection will look at providing an API for a specific application but will explore concepts that will be helpful in building a wide variety of applications.

Building an API with Express

We generally tend to avoid paying for things unless we actually need them, and the same goes for AWS

When using a cloud provider like AWS sometimes an unexpected charge may occur and we'd like to understand what are we being charged for and how to be notified whenever an unexpected charge occurs (especially when we're trying to stay within a free tier).

In this quick (4 minutes, 2 lessons) collection we're going to learn how to:

- Review the AWS Billing & Cost Management Dashboard
- Set up a billing alarm to be notified whenever our bill is larger than $5
- Review the AWS bill to understand how much are we going to pay this month and why

Use AWS Billing & Cost Management Dashboard to keep your AWS bill to minimum

Learn how to build a simple REST API to store notes using the latest built-in node features including native ES modules, the fs/promises API, async/await, the nullish coalescing operator, and destructuring. No compilers, no build steps, pure code.

This collection of lessons is great for beginners to Express as long as they are familiar with JavaScript and the HTTP protocol. Those more familiar with node and express will appreciate a fast-paced, modern take on using these popular tools and will likely benefit most from the lessons on input validation, models (which emphasizes a lot of new syntax), using fs/promises to serialize a `Map`, and accessing asynchronous data with `async/await`.

Pre-requisites:

- [Install curl](https://curl.haxx.se/)
- [Install node 14](http://nodejs.org/)
- Be familiar with the terminal

View the source for this project in the [project's github repo](https://github.com/xjamundx/egghead-express).

**Notes**:

- I'm not very pedantic about REST and basically just mean an API over HTTP
- [Express 5](https://expressjs.com/en/guide/migrating-5.html) is still in alpha (and has been for over two years), but most of these lessons apply to Express 4 as long you use something like [express-async-errors](https://www.npmjs.com/package/express-async-errors) to add support for `async` routes and middleware

Learn AWS DynamoDB from scratch

This collection includes introductory level material for AWS DynamoDB. We cover what DynamoDB is, when you'd use it, and the vocabulary you'll need to understand documentation and talks in the ecosystem.

You'll come out of this playlist with the ability to understand what people mean when they say DynamoDB and the base you need to get started yourself.

Intro to DynamoDB

Building larger serverless applications can be tricky - creating many lambda functions as well as other resources such as DynamoDB tables, S3 buckets, API Gateways using AWS Console takes quite a lot of time. Not to mention other problems such as redeploying the app to a different region, reviewing the infrastructure etc.

**AWS Serverless Application Model** (**AWS SAM** for short) simplifies a lot of those issues 🤩

Built with with best practices in mind, SAM allows you to:

🌟define your infrastructure as code using a YAML template (which can go through code review!)

🌟define resources such as lambda functions, DynamoDB tables etc. in a much simpler way than doing it directly in CloudFormation (which SAM is built on top of)

🌟build and deploy a serverless application from a command line

🌟debug and test lambda functions locally using SAM CLI

🌟debug and test lambda functions from WITHIN your editor with AWS Toolkit extension


Add AWS SAM to your toolkit with this quick collection!

This collection is a sequel to the [Building a Serverless JAMStack Todo app with Netlify, Gatsby, GraphQL, and FaunaDB](https://egghead.io/playlists/building-a-serverless-jamstack-todo-app-with-netlify-gatsby-graphql-and-faunadb-53bb) collection. In this collection we take the TODO application we built and convert it to run using Netlify Identity, AWS Lambda (using the serverless framework) and DynamoDB. We cover

* Fauna vs DynamoDB and when to use each
* Setting up AWS accounts
* Creating DynamoDB tables and data modeling differences between Fauna and Dynamo
* Converting our Netlify Functions deployment to a Serverless Framework deployment
* Implementing Custom authorizer functions on AWS

It uses tools that remove as many of the barriers as possible. Netlify Functions grows into Serverless Framework adn AWS Lambda, Netlify Identity is kept around, and FaunaDB can grows into DynamoDB.



FaunaDB is a global serverless database that gives you ubiquitous, low latency access to app data, without sacrificing data correctness. It eliminates layers of app code for manually handling data anomalies, security, and scale, creating a friendlier dev experience for you and better app experience for your users.

Converting a Serverless App to run on AWS Lambda and DynamoDB with Serverless Framework

React makes it intuitive to build real-world web application. But in reality, you need to use a host of other services to get the app in front of real users. 

This course walks you through setup and implementation to get your cloud-based application up and running. 

You’ll learn to set up:
* a new project in AWS Amplify configured to your React app
* user authentication with Amazon Cognito 
* managed GraphQL with AWS AppSync
* image storage and retrieval with Amazon S3
* text translation via Lambda functions
* and finally, deployment of your application on AWS using Amazon S3

You’ll finish the course ready to quickly and easily deploy your serverless React application, so users can start using and enjoying it right away.

React Native lets you build mobile apps using only JavaScript. It uses the same design as React, letting you compose a rich mobile UI from declarative components.

Building Serverless Web Applications with React & AWS Amplify

With GraphQL, you can define the shape of your data in a schema, and GraphQL will fulfill the request with the precise data you need. When you need it. This doesn't come without a cost. GraphQL adds a lot of complexity to your application by requiring you to define your schemas through types, mutations, and resolvers.

AppSync is a fully managed serverless GraphQL service that fast-tracks your API development. You can define a single type, and AppSync auto-generates a schema, queries, mutators, and subscriptions for you.

In this course, Nader Dabit will show you how to:

- build a production-ready GraphQL API through AWS AppSync
- create and modify data through the AWS AppSync console
- connect a React application to the GraphQL API
- execute queries, mutations, and subscriptions for data through the API in React

GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with your existing data. GraphQL provides a complete and understandable description of the data in your API, gives clients the power to ask for exactly what they need and nothing more, makes it easier to evolve APIs over time, and enables powerful developer tools.

AWS Lambda, Serverless, FaaS - there is a lot of noise around those topics online (and for a very good reason!) and it can get confusing at times 🤯

In this collection we're going to take a look at AWS Lambda from scratch, in order to get **YOU** from:

"_I have no idea what a lambda function is_" 

to 

"_I know quite a bit about AWS Lambda, and I'm going to use it to solve my problems_"

Many languages work on a compilation story to WebAssembly, but Rust is already ready for primetime. Why?


- Rust is a stable language and great replacement for C and C++. 
- Due to the reference and borrowing concept, Rust doesn’t need a Garbage Collector and can be used for a production-ready WebAssembly project. 
- The Rust/Wasm team has built some sophisticated tooling for straightforward interoperability between Rust and JavaScript.

This course gives you the tools to compile to WebAssembly with Rust. Over 11 lessons, we’ll set up a project and explore various paths of communication and interoperability between Rust and JavaScript.

Using WebAssembly with Rust

While this course is for IBM Domino Developers who are looking to utilize Node.js alongside their applications, or Javascript developers looking to integrate with a Domino server. There are quite a few tips and tricks you can learn for integrating Node.js as a proxy server for any REST API you might want to communicate with your JavaScript Application.

We cover how you can continue to use cookies provided by IBM Domino for user authentication and authorization while accessing a Node.js / Express based application, including modifying the standard login form to expose authentication errors.  

We show how to store user level information inside a JWT giving the option to store functional levels of access safely.  This stateless token can then be decoded server side to list what user roles a user has and therefore can restrict functionality without having to refer back to Domino each time.

The course will demonstrate Create, Read, Update and Delete methods using the Domino Data Services all via the NodeJS application but still maintaining Domino security.

And finally, we show how you can reuse Domino generated HTML inside a handlebars template by scraping and manipulating the HTML.
