So far the course has been "meta-info" about docker and the personal anecdotes or the instructor and his career. I personally prefer concrete information and definitions like "docker is a container host" and "a container is a file-system". Edit: I would like to add that I was prompted for a review during the first section and had (wrongly) assumed my review was for that section alone. My personal preference is to begin learning a new topic in a different manner. That said I am in section 7 and both enjoy the course and think it contains all of the technical information I was searching for.

Instructor Bio

Hey I'm Bret.Thanks for learning about me. I'm a freelance DevOps and Docker consultant, trainer, speaker, and Open Source volunteer working from Virginia Beach, USA. I've helped over 150,000 people learn Docker and DevOps tools and techniques.
I've been a cloud and datacenter ops/sysadmin for more than20 years. For years I've been exclusive to containers and I help teams Dockerize their apps and systems, and improve their speed of deployment, resiliency, metrics, and awareness. All that DevOps-y stuff.
I'm also a Docker Captain and Code for America Brigade Captain. I runmonthly meetups, speak at conferences, and love helping others. I'm obsessed with containerizing any app I see, and I'll likely talk your ear off about it next time we meet.
I sometimes develop in Node.js, Bash, and general web, usually for open source.
When not working, I crossfit, surf a little, geekout in our awesome local dev community in Virginia Beach, and travel with my Wife.
Please check out my courses and join me with thousands of others who are learning the latest DevOps tools!
