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.

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

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.
