Learning Experience: Agile software development course is very helpful in learning how the agile methodology plays an important role in any cloud related projects and it benefits in many ways.
Faculty: There are no faculty its a self learning course where they provide videos and notes to learn about and the tests to check our knowledge. The course talks from the basics to the level how it was implemented in real time projects and assignments are there to check our knowledge in each topic which we have learned.
