Introduction to Information Technology and AWS Cloud

Technology is omnipresent, but how did we get here? And what does the future hold for a world that's increasingly connected, mobile and data-rich? This course is intended to give learners enough technical context to understand how to build solutions in the cloud starting from zero technical knowledge. Before diving into the cloud, we will cover the basics of: how do computers work (including software and operating systems), an introduction to information technology, the basics of modern IT infrastructure, and the cloud careers that will be increasingly in-demand. We will then move into the world of internet connected networks (the Internet), covering local hosts, web servers, web applications, web security, the inner workings of a website and the differences between static and dynamic content. We'll close the course by introducing Cloud Computing, its role in our world, the differences between public, private and hybrid, and why APIs are so important.

The course provides a good introduction to IT basics. However, it would be even better to include more multiple-choice questions and hands-on exercises to enhance learning.
