Reviews summary

Versatile iot cloud platform course

Learners say this course by POSTECH is largely positive. According to students, its strengths include a clear introduction to IoT platforms, helpful case studies, and a variety of informative video lectures. The course covers various cloud platforms, including Amazon, Google, IBM, Microsoft, and Samsung, and provides engaging assignments to reinforce learning. However, some students note that the course references outdated content and lacks hands-on exercises. Overall, learners find this course to be a helpful resource for gaining a comprehensive understanding of IoT platforms.

Course relies heavily on video lectures

"The course was good to learn. The introduction part for each IoT platforms were very well structured."

"Video lectures are informative."

"I learn many things related to Cloud IoT Platforms, Very good explanation.Thank You Sir"

In-depth overview of major cloud platforms

"Very interesting overview of the service offering of the leading IoT Cloud solutions, Amazon, Google, IBM, Microsoft and Samsung, along with case studies and hands on instructions."

"This course is to get an idea on IOT suites provided by different cloud providers."

"Fantastic course and introduction to all cloud platforms in a single course its amazing."

Course references outdated content and platforms

"This course needs to update with the latest updates in cloud technologies. For eg., Samsung Artik is discontinued. But still, it is part of the course."

"Artik cloud is not existing anymore, so a course refresh is mandatory."

"Samsung ARTK is discontinued Still there is exercise using that and now we can't open that link."

Course lacks hands-on exercises

"He is not teaching anything. He is just reading the slides very slowly and referring the developer guides."

"If people will learn by reading the developer guides, why they will take the course."

"every video has some links. but there are no links in resources. How do we access them and some questions were asked directly from those links."
