Each November, Amazon holds the re:Invent developer conference and this year there were several sessions designed for mobile developers. The slides and videos are now live so if you weren’t able to make it to the conference you can still get the content right here.

There were also tracks focused on AWS services for mobile developers and games.

You can also catch the recap of the event on the Amazon App Dev blog
