TOP REVIEWS FROM API DEVELOPMENT ON GOOGLE CLOUD'S APIGEE API PLATFORM
by GMOct 12, 2019
This is the most powerful course so far. Makes you a basic developer by the end of this course if you go through each line carefully and give it a little more practice and understanding.
by RRNov 13, 2019
Most images do not represent the current UI design making labs a bit confusing. The Nodejs lab just doesn't work. Apigee reports this error: Error: Cannot find module ‘express’
by DPJun 27, 2019
It gives you the basics knowledge and hands on, it explains the realm of possibilities. At the end you have the basic building blocks to start build what ever you need.

This course was overall better than the intro because the topics were not just click here, here, here, but made sure the concepts and were well-understood.

Excellent course materials. Have me to gain immense knowledge on APIGEE and its components. I thank coursera. Cousera is a wonderful platform for learning.

Out of date with the current state of Apigee, GCP, Loggly. A possible improvement: updating labs with more current screenshots and consistent formatting.
by VDAug 11, 2019
Great course to understand the API Proxy development with Apigee and its best practices. Very few contents are getting outdated, which should be updated.
