It was so so grateful being here , I loved it course so much , as it provided all the concepts very clearly , I would also recommend all other to have this course and gain knowledge provided by IBM.

Great review for Cloud concepts that I needed. Probably would use it once I start studying for some AWS content since not many people use IBM but still a great way to get started in cloud computing.

This course looks written by a low-tier AI which prompt was to sell IBM cloud services. Most of it is filled with nonsense, incorrect informations, incoherence, and the quiz are solvable from a 3 yrs old kid that never watched the lessons, because the questions are either obvious or nonsense. I reccomend to speed run this section and skip it as much as possible, and focus on other courses if you are following some of IBM certifications courses

They ask for an IBM Cloud Account and it was impossible for me to get it, the code they give you doesn't work, tried with 2 email addresses and tried with 2 different credit cards and nothing works, you only get a generic error message that says nothing. I've learnt 2 things: don't do this course or any course by IBM and don't use IBM Cloud in the future.

The course is too wordy for non-native person , and it's unnecessary to use that kind of literature , It's hard enough to grasp the concept then I had to check the dictionary every 1 minute !

and grading system for the last assignment is just not right ! not everyone is honest about their doing and they just push 0 points for completely correct answer !

None of this added with coursera plus resulted in a job. Waste of my time and money. Have the background. 3 yeara Experience with gap. And skill set. This entire site didn't set anybody up for career prospects. Going to continue reviewing the rest of the courses in a similar manner until I receive recompense or justice.

Pls stop putting annoying music under videos that are meant to be studied. It is super distracting and wasn't done in the other courses from ibm! Also the audio level is sometimes really different and in some videos the intro and outro are so much louder than the lesson itself. Pls try to level your audio.

This course highlights everything wrong with the Indian education system. Half the course is advertisement about IBM services and the other half will bore you to death. Please audit the course and then pay for it. It's not at all worth the money if you really want to learn something.

Imagine a seemingly endless business meeting, where Marketing people give you Power Point presentations about Cloud Computing. Zero interactivity, no technical challenges, narration that sounds like AI, and a lot of corporate phrases.

Awful! Shame on IBM. It's not a course. It doesn't teach anything; it's just an advertisement for the cloud. One question for the staff that created this course: Have you ever seen an educational course in your life?

Terrible! When you are stuck, there is no body to assist you. I truly hope I don't face similar problem in the upcoming course. If that's the case, I will quit it and take the Facebook course. Tired of it already!

Don't Pay to take any of these courses until IBM Full Stack Developer Certification Course has been updated. There is a new version with 13 classes, and its pointless to do the 12 course version.

During issues (like creating a IBM Clout Account), no help can be found, meaning you can't progress the course but still get charged.
