- kmfrk 9y agoThey should just hire someone to explain these things. A video goes a long way.
- reitanqild 9y agoA video goes a long way. As long as there is a text with pictures for weird video adverse engineers like me. I actively avoid videos.
- iamatworknow 9y agoI don't think you're weird. Instructional or informational videos force their pacing on you. Text and images allow you to learn at your own pace, be it faster or slower than a video. Few things are more frustrating than having to skip back 15 seconds multiple times in a video because I didn't quite get something, or trying to hunt around ahead in the timeline because the current stuff being presented is trivial introductory fluff.
- RangerScience 9y agoI am the same. Give me text! I skip around all over the place, and can (occasionally) read (short) paragraphs in a glance. Videos and their enforced pacing :/
- reitanqild 9y agoSeems I'm not alone. 25 upvotes at the moment :-| Now I'm not against videos, I just want good text (not just transcripts) to be available for people like me.

- strictnein 9y agoThey actually at least make an attempt to explain the hosting environment differences from inside CodeStar: Elastic Beanstalk: Runs in a managed application environment EC2: runs on virtual servers that you manage Lamba: running serverless From here: https://media.amazonwebservices.com/blog/2017/AWS%20CodeStar-06-ChooseProjectTemplate.png https://media.amazonwebservices.com/blog/2017/AWS%20CodeStar...
- JangoSteve 9y agoThey should also try to make sure all of their descriptions are actually correct. They describe SNS as "AWS Messenger" and say to "Use this to Send mobile notifications, emails and/or SMS messages". That's only one specific use-case though. Really it should be called "AWS Callbacks", and you can use it to create callbacks from other services and webhooks which can trigger notifications to mobile devices, emails, SMS, or other AWS services.
- mifeng 9y agoThis page is awesome. You're missing a few other ones... Amazon Lex comes to mind.
