    Good experience, but I think that the laboratories should have a more up-to-date review, many times the "TODOS" did not match and the instructions were somewhat ambiguous.

    I appreciate the approach they use to teach Java and how they effectively correlate these concepts with the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)."

    I recently completed the "Introduction to Software Development" course by Amazon on Coursera, and it was a great experience. The course breaks down Java programming and the Software Development Lifecycle in a way that's easy to understand for beginners. The hands-on assignments were especially helpful in applying the concepts. Plus, the flexible schedule made it easy to fit into my routine. I highly recommend it for anyone new to software development!

    A huge thanks to the Amazon team for creating such a superb course. It's a really beginner friendly course, and the way of teaching the complex properties in such a simple manner is really commendable. I got to know each and every thing in detail of Java and building a solid foundation, which will eventually help me in understanding the more advanced concepts as well.

    Great Course! I loved the practice Labs too. The only thing that could improve is the checking of the labs. The Checking AI marks you wrong even if your code is perfectly good, but the period in a display message is added or not added. Other that that the course is perfect!

    This is a humble and hands-on course covering the basics of software development using an industry language like Java. But self-study and research on own may be needed to understand concepts more and to solve lengthy labs.

    Course is great. Really must have for a beginner. Being a software engineer with 2 years of experience. I can recommend this to my community of beginner software developers and students at Aao Code Kare.

    Solid training in Java OOP. I recommend it if you already have some programming knowledge but it isn't a barrier to completing this certification.
