The course is hardly an advanced course. It's more like a basic course and has a lot of Linux tips, that despite good are things I already knew. I would like an actual advanced course which explained the Proxy part and how to make nginx reverse proxy and forwarding as well as load balancing
By Kevin McCaughey on 1/19/2019
This is pretty poor in my opinion. There is not nearly enough on the hardest part of nginx, the configuration files (both overall configuration, e.g. say as a rails server and site configuration). It seems the author has one use in mind, wordpress, which is no good for me as I want to do something else. There should also be more information on using it as a reverse proxy etc. The only use described in detail was as a wordpress server.
By Rukeith Tseng on 10/17/2018
Not useful. More emphasis on the installation part. How to use and how to its function is not much.

THIS WAS THE BEST COURSE I HAVE EVER TAKEN ON UDEMY!!! HANDS DOWN THE TOP OF THE TOP!! I have a short attention span. This course was incredibly short, with plenty of engaging exercises, clear instructions, and measurable results. I couldn't believe I had a working Wordpress site up and running so quickly!!! Take this course for a great intro to setting up the LEMP Stack and seeing it in action. I am so please and happy I choose this course with Jasenko!! You are the man Mr. Krejic!!!!
By Josh William Gerlach on 3/2/2018
Swift and to the point. Loved the quit blast through the course to get a solid introduction to the Nginx. Only thing I would say about the course is maybe extend it by 10 minutes to go through some of the settings in the nginx configuration file, like custom error pages and so on. Fantastic course, I would recommend it to anyone trying to get into the world of Nginx :)

Good quick-start guide to Nginx technology. I got enough information to decide if this is the tech I need for my project..
By Lucas W. Rasmussen on 3/1/2018
This course was very helpful in when setting up NGINX server. Lessons are to the point. Some prior reviewers mentioned the audio being low - I dit not notice that at all. I think the instructor fixed. Anyways, I definitely recommend this course for IT people wanting to get started with NGINX servers ASAP.

the volume of some lectures is far too soft to understand the content of the lectures.
By Marie Dalgaard on 12/6/2017
The instructor does a good job of keeping the lessons compact. I learn enough to progress and understand the concepts, but not so much that I get overwhelmed. I like the course.
By Mark Geniu on 12/4/2017
Good topic lecture. And This topic may be useful for me. But The sound of every lesson is poor, too low quality. May the author make the increase in the volume of the sound??
