TOP REVIEWS FROM GETTING STARTED WITH APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT
Really helped me lock down my experience and knowledge in google cloud storage options, client libraries and how to use them to achieve a microservice architecture.
Good course. But, mostly the course concentrates on web application. It would be more helpful if you could cover different technologies/domains in each lab.
it is very amazing course i have learned very much from this, thank you Google, and thank you Coursera for a such nice Course.
Good course. It teaches you the good practices of GCP and provides information to make important decisions when developing a new application.
