Good and informative course. Somewhat more manageable that CCC1; however; the programming assignment was once again a challenge... which is a good thing.

The course gives an advanced overview of the distributed system. The programming assignment was hard to crack but there was a lot of learning involved.

I have really grown to like Indy's presentation style. He manages to give high quality lecture after lecture, with very few exceptions. In this entire class, only a few minutes of AFS presentation seemed like it could be improved.

The programming assignment took a bit more work for me this class, even though it was actually easier. I wished that the differentiation between the MP1 and MP2 styles of calling the EmulNet network was spelled out in the instructions. Lack of an example of how to use the MP2 entrypoints into the API had me trying to implement an entry point (which would require more work than was likely expected).

Would really help to get the correct answers for the questions one failed once the test is passed. The programming assignment could use additional tips and help

Quality material and presentation.

Two problems with the course:

1) There is incredible amount of material covered every week, which is great, on the one hand. On the other hand, it's very hard sometimes to see the forest for the trees. It obviously also limits the depth of the material covered and the understanding thereof.

2) The final programming exercise is lacking in quality - probably the weakest part of this course. There has been obviously a great effort made to prepare this exercise, but the code quality is very poor, not to mention sparse and poor code documentation. The exercise specs are not specific and detailed enough - it took some time guessing about what is actual algorithm is required to implement. I've spent much more time trying to understand the code and the exercise requirements than actual on actual programming. I can imagine how frustrating this experience must be for a novice/unexperienced programmer.

This review is relevant for both parts of C3.

Very theoretical course but very helpful to understand the cloud

Excellently taught by prof

Just the same as the first course. Medium-hard quizzes and a hard programming assigment that is actually harder to understand than to develop.

Overall a five star course.

Good course. Gives you a good overview of cloud computing paradigms. Cloud Computing I and II both are quite informative courses.

very good course!

Thank You Indy for a most challenging Course. I have taken >25 coursera courses and I would have this one is the most challenging. The C++ development project really strengthens your Computer-to-Computer Protocol Communication ability. Five stars all the way.

very helpful for my exam

Very nice and informative course, and the programming assignment in the end of the course is so helpful to understand and apply the theoretical concepts that was introduced during the course

In continuation with Pt. I, this course delves into many more interesting topics. There's a significant scope of self-discovery and learning.

Great Course!!!! I have learned a lot for P2P system, and replica etc. Thank You!

Superb!

Good at explaining concepts

Good Quizzes& assignments

Excellent Course! I found both the Cloud Computing Concepts highly informative and relevant for the course objective.

The professor Indranil Gupta is the guy who can talk very fast but clearly:) Five stars.

Very challenging and very well presented material. I wish all coursera courses could be this way.

I think it is perfect. Excellent theory, excelent teachers, interesting topics well understood and well explained

very informative

Awesome class for software engineers. If you haven't take it in college, or need a refresher, this is a great way to do so.

It's a good course for cloud studing

Learned a lot
