What They're Saying about Melkey





The Go with AWS course has a great cadence, and the tutor is knowledgeable and engaging. I often find myself switching off when watching video tutorials, but this course has been quite enjoyable. Keep up the great work.

Just finished the Building Go Apps that Scale on AWS course yesterday, learned a ton! Definitely worth watching!
