TOP REVIEWS FROM API DESIGN AND FUNDAMENTALS OF GOOGLE CLOUD'S APIGEE API PLATFORM
by AESep 24, 2019
Very easy to pick up and understand. The in-depth design, while still beginner, is refined well and communicates best practices which helps API development get started on the right foot!
by SRApr 28, 2019
Nice introduction to APIgee. Lab instructions could have be more clear. When working behind corporate proxy, most of the setup wont work. A warning about the same would be great.
by TWMay 27, 2018
Brief but to the point. Tells what API developers need to hear ( maybe listen) and gives enough pointers where to refer to the docs. A great starter course for APIGEE journey.

The tutors were good and the content also sufficient for the course. It was overall a very good course with content, the lectures, notes and the questionnaires and tests
