This course surprised me in its applicability to software development. It is a great first course in establishing a foundation of programming before actually doing any programming itself.

Great course for anyone wanting to get into Software Engineering, or a great refresher for those who have SE experience but need to fill in any gaps they may have. Highly recommended!

La enseñanza es muy superficial. Y el hecho de que sea una maquina quien explique lo hace super aburrido para mi gusto.

Waste of time, especially the final project. If you are already a SDE skip this certificate and just go to Udacity.
