Thank you a lot Bryan for this insightful course.

A lot of great various information about the IT world. Wish I had such source of information at the beginning of my IT journey. Brian tells it as it is. Although valuable information have been presented, star and a half off because, the videos were combination of a PowerPoint type presentation and Brian in front of some kind of a curtain. Not very stylish :)

Excellent, Bryan Cairns delivers courses i love to pay for.
I use them as a quick reference to get shit done. I dont watch them like a netflix series. Most content is selfcontained and that adds to it alot for usability as reference.
