Really useful for getting the most out of the official CDK documentation. Bear in mind this is for CDK v1, but useful nonetheless.

Very outdated when it comes to the documentation links yet half of the entire course talks about how the documentation wasn't good enough back then.

There isnt as much detail. Debugging was literally upgrading versions of packages.
Using different constructs and when to use them is what I expected of this course, even if it were high level.

Good content, but there is only 33 min and NOTHING about authoring custom CDK constructs. The little content that is there is solid and well done.

It was very good overall, but I still don't get the concept well. Perhaps, elaborate more on the CDK scripts, line by line and what they do.

Great course! It is very short but the teacher has very good hints for the work with CDK. I would appreciate if he makes an even longer course! :-)

Good crash course into CDK, but it also assumes that you have some stuff already setup. Overall nice and the parts on navigating through the confusing AWS documentation is super good. Thank you.

A good brief introduction to why CDK is powerful, but not so much to CDK itself.
A fine introductory course

Great overview. AWS CDK seemed fantastic and after reviewing this short course I KNOW it's every bit as great as it seemed on first brush. Will start using CDK immediately.

Exactly what I was looking for to get started with AWS CDK. It answered my basic questions for how to start and helped me to understand the docs. Cannot complain at all and it's even better that it's free!

This short course is a not even a demo. The author should add a lot of topics to it. Maybe it is a work in progress?

Course was a good entry point of CDK.
Examples were good to follow and understand.
Only some videos was looking it was not ended correct???

Repeated lessons, very few contents, total lack of structure.
Porbably lacking the most important thing is how to structure code and interact one stack with another.
