    About the Course

    Welcome to the Cloud Computing Applications course, the first part of a two-course series designed to give you a comprehensive view on the
    world of Cloud Computing and Big Data! In this first course we cover a multitude of technologies that comprise the modern concept of cloud
    computing. Cloud computing is an information technology revolution that has just started to impact many enterprise computing systems in
    major ways, and it will change the face of computing in the years to come. We start the first week by introducing some major concepts in
    cloud computing, the economics foundations of it and we introduce the concept of big data. We also cover the concept of sof...

    The course covers lots of areas and you hear lots of keywords. But it doesn't cover any of the aspects in depth. For me it was very basic course and having some practical aspects would have made it a much interesting course.

    I think that some topics were handled a bit too superficially, obviously we can dig for more information, but I was expecting a little bit more, considering that I really liked the previous courses on the track.

    This course is ok, but it gives only high level overview of cloud technologies. I will do the second part, but I will do a free version. I don't think that it's worse this money.

    Relevant topics, bad lectures. Lots of Jargon, not enough context. Went straight into "how" technologies work without properly explaining why technologies were needed.

    There are very small quizzes in the course, few examples, and unavailable background for old technologies. I have completed this course only for specialization.

    Good course but explanation could be better.A little more dive into detail and explain each point with diagrams would be of much help.

    Consider adding a programming assignment to the course curriculum. Please address content issues in a timely manner. Thank you.

    There should have been more examples and more use case and more applied rather than just a theoretical discussion

    Delivery of the lectures could be improved by additional real life examples.

    Course is not well organized .

    This course is neither high level nor low level. After having taking Cloud Computing Concepts Part I and 2 (which were excellent), I expected a continuation of the very deep level of technical material. This course doesn't do this. Instead it is sort of much higher level except that the instructor fails to stay at the high level and will suddenly go deep - but without providing the detail so that someone to whom this is new will be totally lost. Given that I was expecting the technical depth of CCC parts 1 and 2, I already had much of the knowledge that was presented and could figure out what the instructor was trying to present, but I felt bad for someone who wasn't already familiar with the material. It is my opinion that the course needs to be taken offline and redone.

    Note: Apparently I took a prior version of CCC parts 1 and 2 so my comments on those two courses may or may not apply anymore.

    The class is provided at a very high level and did not include enough examples to explain the concept. Roy Campbell cannot talk in a cohesive manner, and sounds not well prepared for the recordings. I am very familiar very a huge portion of the class concepts in practice but is having a hard time following the dry lectures. The quiz is surprisingly educational and well organized.
