Very Academy

I bought this course for in-depth learning about ORM. The quick rush over Docker at the start is pretty unfortunate. The topic of the course is "ORM" and even if Docker might be state-of-the-art or "so easy to use" it builds an additional hurdle immediately at the start for people just curious about ORM, right? No chance to explain ORM differently without Docker? Is Docker really "you must have this, otherwise no chance to learn ORM". Surely not, right? Your approach to explaining ORM ist akin to teaching someone a golf-swing starting off hitting a driver arguing that "in the real world you will have to be familiar with the driver". If, however, the student does not know how to hit an ordinary golf club (iron), that student will struggle immediately from the start. So, the title of the course was "ORM" and I would have expected ORM and not Docker. In addition, is all that detail with django ninja really really needed or is ist just making things even much more intricate by design of the course? Bottom-line: without Docker and django-ninja this could be a 15-20 hours course. Keep the beginners in mind. I moved to django-extensions to run my function with my orm_script.py to see ORM in the terminal rather than doing ninja with all its huge details and ninja-pages only shown for fractions of seconds to the student. Why all this intricate detail that forces the student to run the video at 50% of speed or stop and start over and over with all this huge pseudo level of detail? Showing off something or mindfully ensuring that student ends up confused about everything? Why all this edge-case stuff? "An elephant may cross the road from the left and for this situation one should know etc etc"....
