TOP REVIEWS FROM API DESIGN AND FUNDAMENTALS OF GOOGLE CLOUD'S APIGEE API PLATFORM

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.

by VJApr 4, 2020

Excellent course for a beginner! However, if the labs could include more playing around, it would be amazing!

by FRFeb 14, 2020

Muy bueno, la explicación es muy clara y especifica, mucha practica lo cual permite evidenciar lo aprendido. Recomendado ampliamente.

I was using to Apigee at work but some of the concepts were not clear. This course taught me Apigee concepts that I was missing out.

Frequently Asked Questions

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
