TOP REVIEWS FROM CLOUD COMPUTING CONCEPTS, PART 1
I wish there was a text book we could refer to. Also I wish there were more concepts from real world architectures as well :)This course is already great though
Enjoyed the course. Brought back my ability to program in c++. The programming assignment was sufficiently challenging to achieve that.
Very useful course. It built my Cloud Computing basis from scratch. Fisrt course gives me the enthusiasm to start the later ones. A good place for studying and sharing with course mates. Thank you!
Professor Indranil Gupta is apt in his explanations.
Course Material is highly relevant. Good foundation course for cloud computing.
