it was a valuable learning experience. The course provided a comprehensive overview of key DevOps concepts and tools, enabling me to enhance my understanding of modern software development practices. While I found several aspects of the course to be excellent, there were a few areas where improvements could be made.

there were a couple of areas where I believe the course could have been improved. Firstly, the course materials, particularly the lecture videos, could have been more engaging and visually appealing. While the content was solid, the presentation style was a bit dry at times, which made it challenging to stay fully focused throughout the lectures. Incorporating more interactive elements or incorporating real-world examples could have enhanced the overall learning experience.

The entire course talked about what devs should do, but had very little to say about what ops should do. I'm part of the ops of my organization. Besides being more around daily standups in R&D teams, I have no insights about how ops should organize their behavior - except being in the same cross-functional team as dev.

That comment aside, I found the course material important and valuable and the instructor compelling.

Thanks for your hard work!

The course was highly informative and engaging. The exercises encouraged me to be more disciplined as I went through the course content. I did not expect questions related to principles and ideas contributed by authors referenced in the course. However, this was good as it encouraged me to acquire some of the books to have a deeper understanding of the subject.

The course provided a good orientation with concepts clearly explained by the instructor and was well organized and delivered. Recommend this anyone who needs a good foundational understanding starting with history of DevOps, how it needs to be implemented, what is not exactly DevOps , common misunderstandings and myths about DevOps etc.,

Great course for developing a good working and collaborating culture. Helped me know more than just about DevOps. I would get some basic idea on how github works, how cloud services work, etc. This course will be a good base (fundamental) for people of any domain which requires a good team work.

Great video lectures. Rofrano seems like he really knows what he's talking about. The quizzes were a bit shallow, seemingly only testing whether you were awake while the video played rather than any kind of understanding, but that seems to be the norm on this platform.

Great foundational course which felt to me mostly aimed at business leaders. The instructor is very eloquent, but some of the quiz items test you on ridiculous things, like the author of a book mentioned in one of the videos.

Many terms are not clear for a beginner. I had no idea how a software-developing workplace would function. I learnt a lot from this course, but I would have appreciated more details about certain terms beforehand.

8/10; Very Good! I was surprised to have my understanding of DevOps become invalid, as John enlightened me with the true meaning of DevOps culture.

The short but comprehensive videos are very easy to follow.

Interesting material, particularly enjoyed the scenarios later on in the course. I feel like more focus on that style of examining the material would lead to greater learning.

Ce cours eétait très interessant. J'ai appris beaucoup de nouvelles choses et ça m'a permit de comprendre ce que je faisais mal. Mais j'aurai aimé l'avoir en français.

Good introduction (overview) of the concepts/terminology in DevOps. Looking forward to diving deep into these concepts via further courses of the specialization.

This course helps me to find the concept required for basic DevOps culture. Jon Rofranno delivers the articles briefly and made the contents easy to understand.

Good introduction covering the fundamentals of DevOps and not necessarily on the tools of DevOps, which should be understood before simply employing new tools.
