Course is awesome to understand who are already working or who wish to jumpstart their career path in Data Engineering domain to make their decision about 1) which data repository should they used, 2) what kind of data store should be , 3) how to select the their production databased based on their need. Systematic, clean, neat and step by step approach make us easy to learn and remember key artifacts too.

From my point of view, it seemed like an excellent introduction that placed me very well in the role of Date Engineer. I have no training in this area, but I have always been interested in Information Technology. I was very satisfied with the content of the course and the way it was presented. It is a very dense material that requires hours of dedication. Thanks for that fantastic job.

The course content is a very well-structured, especially for me as a beginner. The viewpoints from the people who working as data engineer was five stars. The text transcript are very helpful too. The instruction for lab session easy to understand, except that some of the image a little blurry (but readable still), so it was okay.

This course has a quick pace and is very engaging! So far, this is one of the best courses that I have taken as someone who has a degree. The pace feels similar to that of a college-level course rather than a slow beginner course. This has allowed me to actually stick with the program because I have stayed interested!

It's a very good introduction course about data engineering as it covers well all basic aspects and perspectives of the domain. The presentations are good though not very rich materials. It would be much better if there were more hands-on exercises (the existing ones are too basic)
