Ahmad Mohey
Hello there! My name is Ahmad Mohey I'm a senior full stack developer. I have been developing applications for the last 10 years and I hope more years of creative developing to come. I have been developing applications for oil and gas industry and the financial and human resources departments for many companies.
I love to learn about new technologies and what's new in the world of development as it's growing rapidly, I love to help people learn and solve their problems. I believe, we all shall share our knowledge and pass it to each others.
The path to become a developer or a programmer is never easy but it is not that hard, You just need to keep going and do not quit and always think of any skill you have now, remember that you did not master it from the first time, you had to keep trying to master it.
Far from the software world I love photography and you can check my photographs on my page on facebook or 500px website, I am passionate about learning management and emotional intelligence and I attended many courses about management, negotiations and leadership.
I love traveling a lot,I love to see new places, cities, countries, cultures and people if I were to choose one thing to continue doing the rest of my life I would choose traveling.
One last thing and I think it might be relevant for me being a developer, is that I love computer games maybe that's why I love programming :) . I hope one day I will make my own games.
Finally thanks for your time read

I liked the course by concise and concrete.
He did not play around and present what I wanted to see.
I hope you publish an advanced series of this course, which will present topics such as the full SQL language for Postgre, triggers, performance improvements, among other issues.

Great for beginners
By Deborah Vela
I really like that I can work along with the instructor but I have to keep pausing the video because he does some things a little fast. I had some issues connecting the server at the end as well. I was never able to connect it.

So far has been a good match for me. I became an Employee for a small company that utilizes PostgreSQL and PGAdmin so this is so far a good tool for me to learn the ropes.
By Joseph Delcambre
The content was ok, maybe 3 - 4 stars on average. But, the narrator was difficult to understand. His accent was thick, English was his second language, and he would speak too quickly in some parts of the sentence, pronouncing several words at a time, making almost impossible to understand.

I appreciated being shown how to install pgadmin and SQL mgmt studio. I posted some questions and did not see any answers or feedback. That was concerning. Overall I appreciated the resources. The chrome browser should be mentioned as being the browser to use pgadmin. Features did not work in IE. IT was a good starter course — worth the money.
