Reviews summary

Introduction to amazon honeycode (deprecated)

According to learners, this course provides a clear and concise introduction to building apps with Amazon Honeycode, particularly praised for its hands-on exercises and accessibility for beginners without coding experience. Students found the instructor to be clear and the approach practical for creating simple applications. However, a significant concern raised by more recent reviews is that the Amazon Honeycode platform has been deprecated by AWS. This makes the course's content largely irrelevant for current application development, diminishing its practical value despite its initial instructional quality.

Focuses on practical application with useful exercises.

"the hands-on exercises really made the concepts stick. I was able to build a simple app by the end, which was my goal."

"Very practical and to the point. I appreciated the focus on real-world application, even if simplified."

"Absolutely fantastic! It delivered exactly what it promised – how to build apps without code, using Honeycode. The step-by-step approach was perfect for me."

Offers a clear starting point for non-coders.

"This course provides a very good introduction to Amazon Honeycode. I found the explanations clear, and the labs were helpful for understanding the core concepts. It's great for someone new to no-code development."

"Excellent course for getting started with Honeycode! The instructor was clear and concise..."

"As someone without a coding background, Honeycode is a game changer, and this course made it accessible."

Some sections felt rushed and could use more detail.

"The course is okay for an absolute beginner, but it felt a bit rushed in parts. Some topics like automation could have been explained in more detail with more examples."

"I struggled a bit with the formula section; it wasn't as clear as other parts."

"It gives you the basics, but don't expect to be an expert after this."

Course content focuses on an unsupported platform.

"Waste of time. Honeycode is no longer supported by AWS. This course should be updated or removed."

"The course covers the basics well, but the platform itself, Amazon Honeycode, has been deprecated by AWS. This makes the course somewhat irrelevant now, which is a major drawback."

"Good general overview of Honeycode features... The only issue is the platform's future, as it's been announced to be shut down."
