I want Advice on AWS Certified Developer Certification

[Anil Ahir]

Hi,

I am doing preparation for the aws certified developer exam and would greatly appreciate any advice from those who have successfully passed this exam. I am particularly interested in recommended study materials, practice exam resources, and any specific topics that I should focus on more.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Hey! DadeSchools

I just passed the AWS Certified Developer exam recently, so I can definitely share some tips! For study materials, I highly recommend the AWS Certified Developer – Associate (DVA-C01) Exam Guide by AWS itself, as it covers all the essential topics. Also, don’t miss out on A Cloud Guru or Linux Academy—their courses are super detailed and helped me a lot with hands-on practice.

For practice exams, Whizlabs and Tutorials Dojo offer great mock exams that are pretty close to the actual exam. They really helped me get a feel for the types of questions that would come up.

As for topics, make sure you focus on:

1. AWS Lambda (understand how to manage and deploy Lambda functions)
2. API Gateway (important for integrating APIs)
3. S3 and DynamoDB (read/write operations)
4. IAM policies and permissions (this is big in the exam)
5. CloudFormation (know how to automate deployment)

Lastly, make sure to get a good balance of theory and hands-on experience with AWS services. Best of luck with your preparation—you’ve got this! Let me know if you need more details!
