What Our Students Say
"EXCELLENT COURSE!!! This has probably been the best course I have taken. I LOVE the systematic app and hands on approach - 1. Notes on what to focus on before getting into the theory, 2. Theory, 3. Hands on Labs, 4, Quiz. James also created a docker extension where you can run the lab locally to get hands on experience. James is super smart, I can understand him well and he speaks at a speed that I can play at a faster rate if I so choose. I loved it. I wish more courses took this approach. Thanks James Spurin!!"
