About the Course

This mini course is intended to apply basic Python skills for developing Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabled applications. In this hands-on project you will assume the role of a developer and perform tasks including: - Develop functions and application logic - Exchange data using Watson AI libraries - Write unit tests, and - Package the application for distribution. You will demonstrate your foundational Python skills by employing different techniques to develop web applications and AI powered solutions. After completing this course, you will have added another project to your portfolio and gained the confidence to begin developing AI enabled applications using Python and Flask, Watson AI libraries, build and run unit tests, and package the application for distribution out in the real world....

This course inspired me to work extremely hard to hone my coding skills. I really appreciate the opportunity to take this course and wish the course team more success in the future endeavors!

I loved the course, it was hands-on lab with a through need for skills which you are taught previous in the python course. Puts your mind to creativity. Loved it. Would recommend it.

This was one of the worst courses I ever had in any learning platform. The first modules won't prepare you at all to be ready to complete the final project. The AI voice generated voice and video content shows a complete lack of comitment to deliver quality content for learners. From my experience, I think I would need to take 3 or 4 previous courses to be ready to complete this one. Some of the content is repetitive, and some of it starts showing you something you should previsouly know (like Python decorators), then after you progress somehow, you will have a video teaching you about decorators... For the content creation team: please, at least put some MINIMUM effort in the content planning and creation, check the order of every item and advice students how to complement all the needed knowledge BEFORE taking this course.

The course was pretty short and didn't really live up to the name of AI & Application Development.

The lectures were to the point and worth watching.

I appreciate that the final project didn't hold your hand the whole way like other IBM courses, but it was still too easy, especially considering that the sample screenshots on the submission page showed exactly what code to write.

Unfortunately, the Skills Network Lab theia environment gave me no shortage of headaches, especially because I couldn't get the Docker service running, no matter what commands or permissions I used. The staff on the discussion forums were zero help on this issue, simply copy-pasting a response that completely ignored the problem and focusing on a later task that those of us with the issue hadn't even got to yet.

This is 8th course of IBM Fullstack developer professional certificate package I am finishing. The materials of final project are of so bad quality that I will probably abandon the whole package. Starting from the thing, that you actually cannot do the final project on your PC (despite the statements in the final projct materials). You are forced to do that in cloud console, which doesn't even save your work. Being fullstack dev for many years (just different stack) I can only sympathize people who need to finish the course. The course does not demonstrate modern state of development at all. What it will do is to put people off such a career.

My goal is not to be a coder and the content was a bit overwhelming and directions were assuming that everyone thinks like a coder which we all do not. Lastly, there were many errors with the interactive system; perhaps because it was constantly updating itself therefore the directions didn't quite match up to what I was seeing or there was an error on the part of the developer. I don't know but I won't continue with this module.

Was created assuming the learner has development experience, first week was great however by jumping straight into the project without walking the learner through putting things together is very over welhming. You claimed the assignment was to take 1 hour however it took me over 10 hours to figure out and even then I couldn't figure out the unittesting.

Whenever I try to open the 'Unit testing' and 'packing' videos are the website shows "Sorry we are down for maintenance". I has been ongoing for last one month. I have been encountering a problem while going through my course and 100% completing it . It's really frustrating. please look into this as soon as possible

this course really needs a lot of imporvements ,, it was very very hard to complete this course due to lack of information that wasn't provided through the course and requested tasks were not easy to be finished ... hoping to consider my concerns annd imporve the course materials

This course was bad. The labs did not work. The final project was an absolute mess. Only giving it 2 stars because it forced me to seek resources and help outside of Coursera which is good to learn. Never be afraid to ask for help. But that should not have been the lesson here.

I'm getting same activation key as other courses for IBM Cloud and that has made it impossible to complete IBM Cloud related graded assignments. Plus the instructions for the final assignment are not very coherrent.

There's A LOT of instructions that could have been explained way better, and it felt like the final project was lacking thorough explanations and directions

None of this added with coursera plus resulted in a job. Waste of my time and money. Have the background. Experience. And skill set. This entire site didn't set anybody up for career prospects. Going to continue reviewing the rest of the courses in a similar manner until I receive recompense or justice.

Terrible. Taught but robot-AI voice. Extremely difficult to follow. Labs crashed and I lost all my work (you can't save your work!). Very poor. IBM should do better. Take a course by someone who has taken the time to do it properly

It doesn't work properly. From typos, to libraries installed poorly so functions don't run. It was a very bad experience. It's impossible to do this in the environment provided by IBM (Theia) so I had to do it locally.

Very poor content, rife with grammatical errors. Worse--there are technical errors. The labs are useless. Copy and paste a bunch of code--you learn nothing from it.
