    About the Course

    This course is part 1 of a 3-course series on Serverless Data Processing with Dataflow. In this first course, we start with a refresher of what
    Apache Beam is and its relationship with Dataflow. Next, we talk about the Apache Beam vision and the benefits of the Beam Portability
    framework. The Beam Portability framework achieves the vision that a developer can use their favorite programming language with their
    preferred execution backend. We then show you how Dataflow allows you to separate compute and storage while saving money, and how
    identity, access, and management tools interact with your Dataflow pipelines. Lastly, we look at how to implement the right s...

    L​ab is relatively scarce in relation to many concepts introduced in this course. More labs should be designed to help learners internalise the knowledge.

    It would be better having detailed explanation of concepts for very beginners. This is a great course. Having detailed information will help learners learn quickly

    Too much technical explanation without useful implementation details. All of the labs are cut-and-paste instructions into the terminal without sufficient explanation of what you're doing on your own. You can obviously go back and explore these things on your own, but I feel like this is important for the course itself.

    It's plain boring without appropriate information what is happening inside. Slides are terrible.

    Basically course doesn't teach you anything useful and simply fills you with information that can be read in the Dataflow documentation.

    It is what they say, it builds on the Data and ML Engineer Specialization, it was good for someone like me who already has taken quite a few qwiklabs labs and knows how to work around GCloud console, for starters I would recommend to take any other fundamental courses that cover basics of dataflow and then try this.

    One of the best courses to cover fundamentals conceptual topics on Beam and some in-depth understanding of Dataflow runner and nuances on cloud. A must have training for people looking to scale on Dataflow or Apache Beam.

    Was mistaken about the objective of this course, its actually a very good basis, just would refine the qwiklabs challenges, its mostly an cook recipe
