TOP REVIEWS FROM CLOUD COMPUTING CONCEPTS: PART 2
Good and informative course. Somewhat more manageable that CCC1; however; the programming assignment was once again a challenge... which is a good thing.
I couldn't quite appreciate the utility of topics like sensor networks or structure of networks. Other than that, the course was fine and the programming assignment was interesting.
This is great to understand some of the most important underlying challenges of distributed computing. I'd say this is a mind-opener for fundational knowledge about cloud computing.
Great to learning cloud computing concepts, and good exercise on programming assignment.
