TOP REVIEWS FROM GETTING STARTED WITH APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT
by HSMay 31, 2020
The course is very well detailed and provide hand on experience for the theory. However I have some feedback on lab, some of the labs are not updated in terms of version of language need to be used.

I thought the course was generally good, but too many of the videos felt like they were just dumping information onto me without giving examples that would help make the content more understandable.

It is an Amazing Course to learn and grow in life . Thank you Coursera and Google Cloud & Team for giving me this opportunity to learn and make my self better in the filed of Technology .
by MSMay 6, 2020
it's good but it's a bit tedious to replicate everything in node, java and python. Also too much to learn and a lil bit of free roaming on qwiklabs vs railed practices would be awesome.
