I wonder if you might talk a bit about what more is in the book than already publicly available in the awesome-dynamodb roundup?

If someone had already successfully using dynamodb in production for a year or two what would be the main value of your course?

If you want a look at the Table of Contents, check it out here: https://s3.amazonaws.com/dynamodb-book/table-of-contents.pdf

For a third-party breakdown of the book structure and content, check out Shawn Wang's review here: https://www.swyx.io/writing/dynamodb-book/

Shawn lists a four-part breakdown that's pretty on-point:

- Background and basics (Chapters 1-6)

- General advice for modeling & implementation (Chapters 7-9)

- DynamoDB strategies, such as how to handle one-to-many relationships, many-to-many relationships, complex filtering, migrations, etc. (Chapters 10-16).

- Five full walkthrough examples, including some pretty complex ones. One of them implements most of the GitHub metadata backend. Nothing related to the git contents specifically but everything around Repos, Issues, PRs, Stars, Forks, Users, Orgs, etc.

The first nine chapters you can probably find available if you google around enough. It's helpful to have all in one place. But the last 13 chapters are unlike anything else available, if I do say so myself. Super in-depth stuff.

I think it will be helpful even if you've been using it for a while, but it really depends on how deep you went on DynamoDB.
