Welcome to Paul's Tech Notes

This is a placeholder post. Replace this content with your own.

Welcome to the site. This is where I’ll be publishing certification study guides, technical articles, and professional development notes.

What you’ll find here

The main content is documentation-first certification study guides. The thesis is simple: vendor exams are written from the official documentation, so reading the docs is the highest-leverage thing you can do. These guides are curated indexes into the canonical references, organised by exam domain rather than by service.

Currently available:

• AWS Solutions Architect Associate (SAA-C03) — comprehensive study guide with priority tiers
• AWS Advanced Networking Specialty (ANS-C01) — documentation-first study material

About the priority tier system

The cert guides use a three-tier priority system to help you focus your study time:

• ★★★ Core — heavily tested topics, expect multiple questions
• ★★ Important — reliably appears, worth solid understanding
• ★ Light — single question or distractor territory

This helps you allocate your study budget where it matters most.

Coming soon

More guides are in progress. Watch the RSS feed for updates.
