Reddit mentions of AWS Certified Solutions Architect Study Guide: Associate SAA-C01 Exam

Are you referring to the first or second edition of the study guide? I've also been looking for the Professional equivalent but haven't found anything that looks promising.

I'm a beginner at AWS compared to others here. I haven't yet taken the Cloud Practitioner exam.

For Cloud Practitioner, aside from various video learning that I've done, I'm using this book published by Sybex, authored by Ben Piper and David Clinton, which goes into enough depth. I've had success with Sybex books for other certifications, and I like their format.

Once I'm preparing for the Solutions Architect Associate exam, I plan to use this book, also by Sybex and the same authors. I was in a Barnes & Noble recently and one of those was on the shelf, and it looked good.

I recall that some other redditor once said this book for Solutions Architect by author Joyjeet Banerjee was useful for his/her understanding and exam preparation, so that's another one to consider.
