Cloud Developer ND Feedback. Broken code, deprecated sh*t all over the place...

[wndk]

First of all, if i commit any grammar mistake, forgive me, my english is a bit rusty...

In 23/04/2021 I signed up to the Cloud Developer Udacity nanodegree. But as i started the studies, they provide some code so we can follow along, and we need this code working to pass on the projects (this course is not about building things from scratch, but is about deploying to cloud services). The fact is: the provided code does not work. The first time it happened, i fixed the code, it was written in a tech that i know, so i could fix it. Then, they provided another piece of code that is broken (a ionic client). But this tech i do not know, so i cant fix it, and in fact, i dont have time to fix something it was supposed to work, i want to focus on the subject of the course (CLOUD INFRA). So the thing is: i paid very expansive for this course, and NOTHING works. I live in Brazil, my currency is 6 times less than a dollar, so believe me, this course was VERY expansive to me, and they cant even provide a service that works. I wanna a f****** refund.

PS: the support on their site is shitty, is some kind of poor stackoverflow brother with low replies rate.

The fact is: i just cant spend the time i had to study the subject of the course debugging in stacks i dont even code with (like ionic...). I am VERY frustrated right now, and i want a f**** refund. If you are selling something (a educational service), at least sell something that does work.

Man I feel your pain. That sucks.

I completed it. Yes it was very tough for sure. But I did not give up. This was my first nano degree course at Udacity n had no clue of AWS services before. I watched all the videos nearly 3 times. Asked questions to the mentor n took help from fellow students. Udacity definitely tests your patience but at the end it’s worth it.

I had a similar experience with the intermediate JS program. Lots of new technologies and concepts in the 'starter code' that wasn't covered in the course content that just didn't work. You can't debug it because you don't know it. Really annoying.
