Good experience, but I think that the laboratories should have a more up-to-date review, many times the "TODOS" did not match and the instructions were somewhat ambiguous.

I appreciate the approach they use to teach Java and how they effectively correlate these concepts with the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)."

I recently completed the "Introduction to Software Development" course by Amazon on Coursera, and it was a great experience. The course breaks down Java programming and the Software Development Lifecycle in a way that's easy to understand for beginners. The hands-on assignments were especially helpful in applying the concepts. Plus, the flexible schedule made it easy to fit into my routine. I highly recommend it for anyone new to software development!

Great Course! I loved the practice Labs too. The only thing that could improve is the checking of the labs. The Checking AI marks you wrong even if your code is perfectly good, but the period in a display message is added or not added. Other that that the course is perfect!

This is a humble and hands-on course covering the basics of software development using an industry language like Java. But self-study and research on own may be needed to understand concepts more and to solve lengthy labs.

Solid training in Java OOP. I recommend it if you already have some programming knowledge but it isn't a barrier to completing this certification.

I understood all the basic easily, and the code has the solution in case we do not know how to do it.

It was a difficult course, not all explanations were catchy, I think that examples could be more simpler. Also there were technical issues, such the dessapearing subs under video and I am struggled in first lab. I work in mac and needed to use for switching keyboards. However, I'm very pleased for a lot of practical code assignment, because Java is a difficult language and for comprehensive understanding of Java principles you need practice a lot. I hadn't made any code in Java before this course, now I can create something. So, I think the course is nice. Thank so much!

Muy buena explicación, solo al final el ultimo laboratorio en la creación del Zoo le falta un poco más de detalle en algunas instrucciones o alertas para coordinar la salida esperada, puesto que si falta algún punto a la impresión o se edita mínimamente el texto, pero tiene el mismo significado, lo toma con un error directo.

Last module is a bit scuffed since you need to get the same results as the Emulation which is confusing since variable names can be different and they do not share how you should name your variables
