This was one of the best courses I have taken, the instructor was really engaging, and there were assignments that made us think on our feet, and implement what we learnt.

Professor is fantastic. He shows you in a nice way how to achieve the proposed tasks, and understand the logic about CI/CD.

I came into this course with just basic theoretical knowledge. I liked that the course did not assume any fundamental/pre-requisite knowledge, and went through all the material in a clear, easy to understand manner.

Mostly fast-paced. Instructor deliberately ran into errors, and showed how to detect and fix them. Other instructors should take note.
