NGINX MasterClass: NGINX Server & Custom Load Balancer (Udemy.com)

The course is well structured, but the presentation, especially editing is done half heartedly. Not to mention sometimes the narrator is explaining what can or cannot be done, but will not eleborate further. And tiny grammatical error when giving explanation sometimes changes the whole meaning, and few of the lectures - the way they are explained feels incompleted (I'm talking withing the domain/bounds of what is shared) But such occurrences are few - although repetitive. Still as a complete beginner - overall it's a fantastic course. Though can definetly be improved with a bit of the editors touch! (And please add subtitles!) So if you are new to nginx - can definatly go with this course - you will be doing research and trying things of your own anyway (lol) - but as a reference or starter it's a good course! Kind like raw diamond!

Hello Anshul! Really great course! This is not the first time I studied your lessons and I want to mention one small notice. Sometimes it's difficult to watch it on a tablet because of the small scale. Could you please zoom in a bit when you show a terminal? Anyway, it's fine, just a suggestion for future courses. Thank you!

First of all, big thanks for this course to Anshul! It's a great introduction course for System Administrators or Web Programmers who are just getting started with NGINX. It's more a beginner course, not advanced. After this course you can safely start working with NGINX and dive deeper to more advanced features and write more advanced configs with the help of NGINX documentation or another resources. To further explore NGINX and solidify its fundamental concepts I can recommend this section - http://nginx.org/en/books.html You can get advanced book "The Complete NGINX Cookbook" by Derek DeJonghe here for free - https://www.nginx.com/resources/library/complete-nginx-cookbook/?utm_source=nginxorg&utm_medium=books&utm_campaign=ebooks This is another free handbook "The NGINX Handbook" by Farhan Hasin Chowdhury here - https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/the-nginx-handbook/ I would like to highlight a few cons: - No certbot introduction. Certbot now is essential part of NGINX configuration, because you want to have all your traffic to the internet encrypted. Certbot is the best way to start using free Let's Encrypt SSL certs. - You will not get best practices from this course, on the contrary, you will get the wrong idea about some concepts. For example, throughout the course you will use the main nginx.conf file. Which in fact is usually not touched at all. All user configs should be in /etc/nginx/conf.d or /etc/nginx/sites-avalaible for Ubuntu nginx package (it's an old deprecated way). I understand that it's ok for using the main config to demonstrate simple things clearly. But it would be much better to tell the students at some point in the course that they don't actually need to use the main config file in real world and that this approach is even the worst practice. - Sometimes Anshul is wrong about some concepts or tools. There are also mistakes in Anshul's configs. For example, there are mistakes from "Avoiding the Top 10 NGINX Configuration Mistakes" list. It's not a big deal for experienced Sysadmins, but we are talking about beginner's course... - The biggest con of the course is dead Q&A section. And as I understand, it's not the problem of a small user base. There are some questions without an answer. I started a thread about "29. Lab : Configure NGINX as Reverse Proxy". There are mistakes in Anshul's config presented in video. And what do you think happened? :) My question was just deleted. Anyway, I'm glad that this course exists and I really appreciate Anshul's hard work, thanks and wish a nice day to all the students :)

I am rating this course 5 because I really like the approach which covers from basic to advanced. People who are not from the development background also can understand the technology. I have taken most of the courses from same Instructor on Terraform basic to advance, Helm, Devops using Jenkins docker. I am searching for Ingress traefik course from the same Instructor. I would like to go through other courses with same Instructor on Kafka if available. Request, please send a notification on new courses. Hats off to you for your experience and Indepth knowledge and sharing your knowledge.

Closed captions should be standard in all paid lectures. a) Most important: Those with hearing impairments. b) Using more of our senses when learning information helps with retention. c) Allows speeding up the video (beyond 1.5x) for parts of the lecture and still absorbing all the information. d) A transcript is always nice to have for review. Closed Captions has nothing to do with the instructor's accent.

Very thorough review of the Nginx web server. I did have a small issue in that my current version of nginx is 1.20.1 and some of the configuration syntax seems to have changed. I was able to figure it out but it just took a little longer. In addition, I have Nginx running on CentOS 7. Not sure if that would explain some of the syntax differences.

Itś an okay introduction into nginx. Certainly not a masterclass, there is a lot more to cover than these basic steps. The language is a bit exhausting to listen to for a long time but itś okay. I liked that there were a lot of handouts compared to other courses which hardly put up some written content. the balance between theory and practice was good.

I've attended more than 40 courses on this plattform. This is with a huge difference the worst of all of them. In the begining, I thought an automatic translator was speaking. No pauses when speaking, hyper fast, impossible to follow, absolutelly ininteligible. One hour following the course and I feel absolutly exhausted Really bad

Excellent, but i miss so much some subtitles... As a no-native english speaker, i had difficulty at times I will give 5 stars because the instructor really domains the subject, but please consider captions for next courses. But, its really master class. Very very well maked.

I built an app and I need to deploy it but I didnot know which server should I use Apache or Nginx . I was searching about them so I found this course I thought give it a try. I finished in two days now I know a lot of things about Nginx thanks to instructor. However, I must say this course would be great if it covers nodejs api deployment and Angular/React or Vue front end deployment just so basically. Anyway, Thanks Anshul I hope you keep continue to make some good tutorials like this.
