What Students Are Saying
“Dear Sam, I hope this email finds you well. If you remember before the end of last year I registered for your Terraform 101 course. I must admit that I learned a lot. All in all I enjoyed the way you structured the course and how you went through it. The main reason for this email is to send you my gratitude for the content you created and to let you know that I passed my exam last week.”
“This course was a perfect introduction to Terraform and Infrastructure as Code. Loved the gitpod, saving me a lot of time for developer environment setup. We have a project at work where we want to go from a click-ops version of server-deploy to a more automated flow using CI/CD and Terraform for deploying virtual servers.”
