Informative and easy to follow for a fundamentals course. Explanation and use of the tech jargon, was not over my head. Kudos to the instructor and his team for the deck slides and narration.

short but basics are covered in a very crisp manner

By Steve Jarman on 6/30/2025

Yes this was exactly what I wanted to refresh my knowledge on for further educational purposes.

By Daniel Chapman on 4/8/2025

This was a great course for a beginner! It clarified some of the subtle differences of cloud and virtualization. I have more questions than I started with, but that means the course did it's job. Now I need the second section. I didn't give 5 starts because there was no interaction or video with the instructor. It seems a little arbitrary, but that production value helps me stay engaged.
