I liked the breadth of the knowledge of the teacher and the labs were interesting as well.
Tim Garlick is an amazing instructor, and mindful of adding additional context where the course material might fall short or be out of date.
John Hale was a great teacher and I learned a lot about GCP and all its offerings. I would recommend this class to anyone who is looking for a broad overview of what GCP has to offer.
John provided lot of insights by comparing the details of the services to AWS services. That helped me a lot to put things in perspective.
The instruction was awesome.
The labs were excellent.
I loved the Kahoot questions after each lecture.
