I’ll be joining the web version of the University of Washington’s certificate in cloud computing program.
I have researched on cloud for a while now and to me, it seems like a right time to study cloud in more detail. And what’s more – it’s University of Washington and so the faculty teaching courses are top-notch. And so I hope to learn from the veterans and awesome academicians via this certificate program.

What are your thoughts on University of Washington’s cloud computing program ? Can you write about your experiences. Thanks
I joined the online course and I liked it! The course had lot’s of guest speakers + Assignments that allow hands-on experience + Nice Instructors + Nice course structure. If you want to get the best out of the course and you’re in Seattle, Join in-person class!

Thanks Paras, based on your experience which cloud/big data certification program would you recommend for a novice with no programming background.
It’s OK to not have programming background if you’re up for learning it on the Job :)
I hear UW is rolling out Data Science Certificate, You may want to check that out too.
To wet your appetite for cloud, here’s a nice resource:

And I hear “Big Data University” is a nice resource for BigData. I have not tried it personally.
And this Book:
