I am satisfied with how the lessons are spoken about and explained thoroughly during class. I also appreciate that the labs provide information and question the subjects we discussed during class. It gives me a better understanding of the lesson.
Really love the class and I have learned a lot from John. Excellent and clear communication on expectations and content.
I never thought I’d enjoy poking around in logs, but it’s weirdly satisfying to figure out what happened in a system and why.
