AWS Fundamentals: Addressing Security Risk

This Specialization covers the fundamentals of web development with Ruby on Rails. You'll learn everything you need to develop your own web application using Ruby on Rails, SQL and NoSQL databases, and HTML/CSS, and Javascript. We will also touch on advanced topics such as security, services using HTTP/RESTful access patterns, and user access and user experience from multiple device platforms. In the final Capstone Project, you'll apply your skills to develop a web application that hosts uploaded photos and displays them using a map.

There are too many errors in quizes, and however instructors were inspiring and funny, I got not much knowledge. The content of quizes is not matched to course content.

Quiz have been incorrect and you keep getting prompted to carry on even though it hasn't been fixed. I should content should be tested before going live or at least respond quickly on feedback provided by customers

Well presented course, high level but a very good introduction to AWS and security best practices. I recommend this to anyone who wishes to begin learning about AWS and security best practices.

It should have more elaborative and constructive as quiz questions came in weeks before even they were discussed.

By Bogdan P on 25-Sep-19

Rudy and Hong are very funny and the bee analogy is very good to explain those arguments.Guys, to me the course is very well done and answers to quizzes are correct. I say that because you DON'T find all needed answers in videos and this because you have - to read and study - the online help center and search inside the service pages of AWS.
