Instructor Details

Valentin Despa

I teach IT professionals what I wish I'd known earlier.

My foundation is built on years in the trenches as an Agile Enterprise Software Developer, engineering solutions for everything from fast-paced start-ups and SMBs to large global corporations. I hold recognized roles as an AWS Community Builder, Postman Supernova, and GitLab Hero, alongside a deep history of securing and building major open-source projects.

For over a decade, I've taken that real-world experience and quietly built one of the largest learning communities around API tooling, test automation, and DevOps practices. What started as a side YouTube channel turned into hundreds of thousands of learners, conference talks, and team workshops at companies most IT professionals have heard of.

The thread through all of it is the same: take something that looks intimidating and break it down so anyone can understand it in plain language.

Lately, I've been spending more time on practical AI in the workplace. I look at how teams can leverage AI for both everyday knowledge work and hands-on IT engineering, like coding and testing. I focus on cutting through the hype to figure out how AI actually helps IT professionals get work done, build, and ship faster. New formats, same approach.

There should be one or more lectures to view the disk usage, process etc those things. Do not know what all but something like those. Otherwise it's a five-star training for beginners.

One of the best linux tutorial, easy to follow for beginners, very well explained some advanced commands like redirect and pipe.

By Damon Deluca on 6/18/2025

i like the host Valentin, this is one of the least boring tutorials on linux commands i've heard.

By Anonymized User on 3/30/2025

Nice introduction to Linux commands. I would like to have seen some more concepts like process states in Linux, some statuses, dealing with network interfaces.. but overall very good content and nicely explained from author.

A compact yet thorough course that covers all the essential (well, not only the essential) commands you'll need from the start. It provides a solid foundation without overwhelming you, making it just perfect. Highly recommend it!

By Ming Li on 12/11/2024

Section 1 - Introduction is clear and straightforward. It made me wanted to learn more how to change from superuser to a normal user. I googled it and to do that you have to type su [username] (e.g., su student) to return to the normal user account.
