The course content successfully covered the basics. The information is condensed and easy to understand. I think discussion assignments are really cool but most of the answers are not helpful.

As in introduction, this course quickly outlines the concepts without going to far into the details. This course lays a good foundation upon which to start to leverage Cloud services.

Course was good. It was delivered at a steady pace, not too fast and had numerous examples of the things being taught. The only drawback was that some of the video transcripts were not well done.
