    It's a very good introductory course not just to some of the Azure offerings, but to Data terms in general. I've used databases since at least 1998 and even with that experience I have learned valuable information with this course.

    This course is good for you, whether you use Azure or not (of course is even better if you do use Azure), so you can't be wrong.

    The presentation and aesthetics of this course are some of the best I have seen in Coursera, and I have seen a lot of courses here, so congratulations to the builders of this course!

    The course syllabus mention something about Azure Synapse, but the course don't have anything. If not for this, I could give 5 on rating.

    it was good, some of the questions in the quizzes/tests were not worded correctly and hard to understand, and a few had the same wrong multiple choice answers. the content was gone over super quick and not all the difference's were given fully. but overall it was a decent course, and it laid a foundation of data concepts.

    It was a very good intruduction to relational and non-relational data. I learned about tools and roles in a company. I can better understand needs of companies and what I can offer. I become motivated to learn more about SQL and NoSQL which I found rather easy since I had experinece with tables, etc.

    All in all, I would recommend people that want to persue a career in data science definitely take this course.
