The intro contains a bit of superfluous information. Everything else has been very clearly presented in a very understandable manner Her accent is a bit thick, require a bit more focus to understand, but it's relatively minor issue relative to the content and the delivery.

This course can be much better if author explains the basics ,that is reason of doing steps not only steps to do things. Also there should be some revision notes in each section which again should explain main points with reasons.

Very good course. Everything is explained so that you can set up everything from RPi, ESP32 and all the services in AWS. Quick and helpful response to questions with additional sources of information and tutorials. Thank you

good course on aws IoT but there is a not much information about raspberry pi and esp32 . How to connect with it and how to use it. It is hard for beginner to understand this.

The course is very well structured. Many cloud courses out there directly interface all the hardware and give less importance to interfacing. This course has given due importance to hardware as well as the cloud.

Excellent course. It didn’t leave out on explaining the concepts and provided ample resources for more learning. I really liked the explanation for notification services, scheduling service, AWS Lambda and data visualisation using Amazon QUICKSIGHT.
By Shankar Goswami on 10/30/2019
I really enjoyed the presentation of the course. It was concise, clear and eye catching. The illustrations made it easy to understand what is happening behind the AWS IoT Architecture.
By Russell Crowe on 10/30/2019
There is a lot to learn from this course. It covers not just the end to end project with Raspberry Pi, ESP32 & DHT11, but also about security of data, Notification, scheduling and triggering services like Amazon Lambda, SNS, SQS, CloudWatch, S3 and more.
By Allu Chaya Satya Kiran on 10/29/2019
The course gives equal importance to explaining the code for both the cloud and the edge devices like the Raspberry Pi and ESP32. Also, all the resources are kept organized in a GitHub repository, which made it very useful for learning.
