The fact of having more practical exercises using more similar data to what we use in our projects (satellite images in raster format)

Monika - Procter & Gamble Polska Sp. z o.o.
Course - Developing APIs with Python and FastAPI
It was a though course as we had to cover a lot in a short time frame. Our trainer knew a lot about the subject and delivered the content to address our requirements. It was lots of content to learn but our trainer was helpful and encouraging. He answered all our questions with good detail and we feel that we learned a lot. Exercises were well prepared and tasks were tailored accordingly to our needs. I enjoyed this course
