Course content and presentation are so good and Instructory knows the depth for the subject...he started by assuming that you have zero previous knowledge and slowly-slowly will take you to the advanced concept.

By Suman Basaveni on 8/22/2026

To avoid confusion, some explanations needs more details with comparison of some similar topics like lists and sets, sequences with more diagrams or pictures, instead of simple writings.

By Gary Turner on 6/19/2026

It was a good course, but hard to listen to. Varying speech speed, pitch, and accent made listening to it hard to follow. I had to sit back from the speakers to hear it better.

By Rich Mascaro on 6/10/2026

This was very clear and bite sized. I really enjoyed the YAML memes and sense of humor in the course. It made it very easy to follow along with

The instructor is straight to the point Yaml being an easy topic he made it quiet engaging and straight to the point. I would recommend this course as a quick and easy to understand would be checking his other offerings. --- points of improvement: &optional - Make a python file as a separate section to improve time

By Pratik Shinde on 3/3/2026

great course !!! Expecting same type of course having chapters for Github actions/Kubernetes/Dockerfile/etc.

By Shobhit Prakash on 2/18/2026

The instructor was very friendly and used great examples. He also added some relevant memes at the end of the video which renewed interest in it and made the course understandable. The Hands-On was given in almost every video for us to work side by side with where we could understand and solve our issues when we were practising.
