Reviews
The technical data in the AWS Solutions Architect course was very thorough.
This was effective way to provide a ton of information in a short time period.
Overall it was a good bootcamp. A lot to cover so it is understandable that the pace had to be a little fast.
the course is good, covers many aspects, wish the lab is a little bit more in depth
Concise and good to follow along. Although it is a lot to take in under a short period of time.
