Great approach to the theoretical part of programming, however a bit too theoretical though. There could be more hands-on activites other than only the Labs

It was an interesting introduction. There was quite a lot of technical jargon used, though, that wasn't explained sometimes.

Course begins very nicely but later it's mostly copy-pase procedure and explaining topics in few sentences that really needs more time and elaboration to understand them. Also AI generated voice is hard to listen to after some time. For subjects like Flask, Django or Docker I needed to watch some more videos and learn outside this course to understand them.

The re is no subtitles and no transcription below for the first video of the week 2 " Overview of Web and Cloud Development" and when I click to download the text of the subscription , the last sentence is not complete. I had to contact the agent named Glenn G during the support chat to signal that problem.

It's okay course if you have absolutely no idea about IT and programming at all. Otherwise, you end up listening to boring text read by machine reader. There's a reason why you need a real person in the course, it just makes it real, personal.

Extremely bloated and doesn't start with what's important. It feels like a song in a constant state of build-up but never gets to the point.

Waste of time, especially the final project. If you are already a SDE skip this certificate and just go to Udacity.
