FYI: YAML  is a human-readable data-serialization language. It is commonly used for configuration files and in applications where data is being stored or transmitted. YAML targets many of the same communications applications as Extensible Markup Language (XML) but has a minimal syntax which intentionally differs from SGML. It uses both Python-style indentation to indicate nesting, and a more compact format that uses [...] for lists and {...} for maps thus JSON files are valid YAML

A perfect beginner-friendly course! The instructor explains everything clearly, and I now feel confident writing YAML files for real projects.

By Marcel van Dorp on 10/4/2025

The teacher was a bit difficult to understand due to his accent. He made a lot of typo's. The course seems to be a few sheets gathered from other courses, and is not very structured.

By David Valdivieso Djprormx on 10/2/2024

This is a nice YAML training for beginners. It would have been even better if you had included more examples for each topic.

By Areesha Somroo on 10/2/2024

YAML is a terrific language for manipulating data, and he does an excellent job of presenting examples and laying down the subject matter for both experienced and novice users.

The information is explained very clearly, and the examples are easy to understand. This is a great course to begin learning about Azure DevOps.

Exceptionally amazing, many thanks for this lesson. Although I am enrolled in a comparable course in Germany, yours is considerably superior.

By Shane Ongley on 4/2/2023

Low quality, hard to understand and switches to text to speech half way through
