Excellent Explanation of Concepts and perfect real time related content.
By Saurabh Sinha on 8/4/2024
Covered most of concepts and example with hands-on. We need to modify the codes or jars whenever it's failing. Share the PTT as course materials.
By Erika Noguez on 7/10/2024
Excelente, lo he disfrutado mucho. Muy claro. Me gustaria tambien trabajar con tablas en bigquery.
By Joel Mendonsa on 4/1/2024
There were issues while running some code and setting up, where the instructor could have explained in more detailed and the instructor has note even answered one single Q/A that leaves us in complete doubt. The course is great but the Instructor could be better with the latest errors that we face on Cloud
