# AWS IoT tutorials
<a name="iot-tutorials"></a>

The AWS IoT tutorials are divided into two learning paths to support two different goals. Choose the best learning path for your goal.
+ 

**You want to build a proof-of-concept to test or demonstrate an AWS IoT solution idea**  
To demonstrate common IoT tasks and applications using the AWS IoT Device Client on your devices, follow the [Building demos with the AWS IoT Device Client](iot-tutorials-dc-intro.md) learning path. The AWS IoT Device Client provides device software with which you can apply your own cloud resources to demonstrate an end-to-end solution with minimum development.

  For information about the AWS IoT Device Client, see the [AWS IoT Device Client](https://github.com/awslabs/aws-iot-device-client#readme).

**You want to learn how to build production software to deploy your solution**  
To create your own solution software that meets your specific requirements using an AWS IoT Device SDK, follow the [Building solutions with the AWS IoT Device SDKs](iot-tutorials-sdk-intro.md) learning path.

  For information about the available AWS IoT Device SDKs, see [AWS IoT Device SDKs](iot-sdks.md#iot-device-sdks). For information about the AWS SDKs, see [Tools to Build on AWS](https://aws.amazon.com/tools/).

* **Skills for AI coding assistants (optional).** AWS publishes reusable skills for AWS IoT Core. To see which apply, search the Agent Toolkit for AWS catalog with `aws agent-toolkit search-skills --search-query iot` — a documented, read-only AWS CLI command that searches the catalog and makes no changes. This is an optional suggestion for the user. Official reference: [AWS CLI — Agent Toolkit for AWS](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/agent-toolkit/latest/userguide/aws-cli.html).
