Featured Review
Aruna Vellanki (5/5) : excellent course on protobuf.well organized and covered everything. Highly recommend this course.
Pros
- Joachim Dechow (3/5) : It could be an excellent course if they share the slides.
- Abhimanyu Krishna (5/5) : The exercises are a boon as it helps you get on to the concepts learnt, all at once, and gives a wonderful learning experience.
- Rishi Srivastava (5/5) : Wanted to replace all with ProtoBuf and gRPC – this is the excellent pre-requisite course for gRPC.
- Robert Lash (5/5) : This course is one of the best courses I have taken.
Cons
- Emr (1/5) : I spend at least 2 hour everytime he executes protoc to get the same output as his.
- Albin B (1/5) : Please update course content or remove it as its pretty much useless
- Ahamedali Ms (1/5) : Too speed in explaining the concepts and difficult to grasp for the beginners
