Hi deep learning. Thank you so much for the free access and fixing the challenge with that.
I had been accessing the course on Coursera along with the Gen AI For everyone course.
The activation has been great because I had challenges on how to best simulate what was in the course and now it’s so much better that I can actually run some of the scenarios.
Most of all going through the course materials again to take the final quiz for the week has been great because if actually helps indicate the progress I had been doing and motivating me to stay on. I am now on week for topics and hope to conclude the test tomorrow before I go back and complete all the assignments.

Finally is there any group on this platform where we can chat with others and find simulation runs on the PC while offline. Reliable bandwidth on the farm is a challenge and costly in rural Africa and hope to use something like that to practice the coding side more on my laptop when offline? Cisco has packet tracer and I was wondering if there is something similar for some of the applications we are using on the course?

Hello @MoyoKwaLee
Glad to hear that you are enjoying the courses :slightly_smiling_face:
You can raise all your questions and concerns here in the discourse. Unfortunately, it is not possible to run most of the labs of the Data Engineering Specialization locally since they use cloud technologies from AWS. Tools like AWS Glue, RDS, and S3 are not implementable locally. You can try to simulate the labs locally, but it takes great effort, and you need to make serious changes in order for them to be implementable on a non-cloud environment.

On the courses. Is it just one per person or can I activate another without disrupting this one. I ask because I had gone through the material on Gen AI for everyone and AI for everyone in the audit mode in the last 2 months?

@MoyoKwaLee Sorry, but I couldn’t understand your question. Can you please rephrase it?

Hi. Sorry about that. But I re read the email with the link and it answered me. I wanted to know if I could do more than one of the courses with the promotion.
