Yes, GCSB is good for beginners. There are some materials separated by levels. About the paths, I prefer because it learns in sequence, since the fundamentals of cloud to advanced level. I recommend enroll the Cloud architect path and DevOps Path. Answer from Deleted User on reddit.com

r/googlecloud on Reddit: Google Cloud Skills Boost - Is it useful for beginners to learn GCP?
July 6, 2024 -

I'm a full-stack dev who just started to learn GCP. I have very little background about cloud computing in general.

I found this Google Cloud Skills Boost simply by googling "google cloud platform online training". It seems to be an online training resource for GCP beginners. However, this page doesn't explain anything like

  • which services (GKE, Big Query, etc) can be learned on the website

  • in which order you should consume materials

On the top bar, I can see Paths link, but I don't know which one I should take (I want to be able to deploy k8s cluster, monitoring, etc).

I can also see Explore link on the bar. If I click it, I can see several courses. Some of them are for beginners, and others are intermediate. Again, I don't know which I should take.

Is this course good for beginners? Should I try a paid course such as Coursera or A Cloud Guru?
