In this chapter, we introduced you to the AWS SDKs for the Windows C# and Python programming languages. We then created development environments for both platforms and started writing simple AWS applications. We began by writing S3 applications where we created an S3 bucket, listed S3 buckets, uploaded files to the bucket, and deleted the bucket. We then moved to creating an EC2 instance programmatically using both C# and Python. We also saw how we could check the state of our EC2 instance and connect to it using SSH.
