Creating a table using the AWS SDK for .Net

Now, let's understand how to create a DynamoDB table using the AWS SDK for .Net.

Getting ready

You can use an IDE, such as Visual Studio to code these recipes. You can refer to the AWS documentation on how to set up your workstation at http://aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-net/.
