Too much Eclipse and too much repetition. Also there is an 13 second intro before every tutorial. This becomes very annoying after a couple of tutorials.

This is a great course on maven. The author explains all the concepts very clearly and goes through all the phases of maven cycle including profiling etc.

Very well explained how multi module projects can be setup, how dependent moules can leverage dependencies from parent, nexus repo management and site deployment with reports and documentation

The intro to each video is one of the most annoying I've ever encountered. The content is decent which saved it in the end.

The content is good, but the voice recording is a bit difficult to understand. It seems like the authors mouth is too close to the mic and individual words are hard to make out.

Very good course. Bruce follows a natural development path in order to explain the concepts, covering many subjects. The explanations are very well done. Thank you!

Contains a lot of usefull details I've forgotten about and not few I never knew about. Glad to have taken this course to deepen and refresh my maven skills.

Excellent quality course for the next level maven experience building upon the training from the earlier version. There is no other Maven tutorials that goes through the level of details that this one does. Highly recommended to get to expert level knowledge. Wish list: A next level course that takes into account building Docker images, usage of Artifactory and Continuous Deployment with Jenkins pipelines.

The presenter speak isn't motivating , sounds like he doing this stuff in later hours. Usage of presentation slides is average. Good things: very structured presentation of maven dependency management , you will learn how to create different maven projects and handle their dependencies , another good thing is learning of how to configure maven Nexus repository server. Overall not so bad , i seen even worse , one of the best infos on maven real practice examples!!! I would recommend to include tutorial how to setup own git server , because not all prefer to use public github.

Nice informative content about more advanced topics (inheritance, aggregation, multimodule projects etc). Audio could be better (over-emphasized bass, not good for vocals) as also video quality could be a bit better (despite viewing in 720p, not very clear, and the effect is more dominant in tablets where eclipse contents are not very clear). Overall the course is recommended, especially for people aspiring to dive into a bit more advanced maven features.

Il corso da una buona infarinatura sul processo ma è spesso ripetitivo e non entra troppo nel dettaglio

A lot of good information and a much deeper dive into Maven then I had original thought we would go. There is definitely more to the process then I would have imagined. I am enjoying the insights, but not really sure how or why i would I (as an independent developer) would use some of the features. Don't get me wrong I am glad to hear about these features like module linking, local repositories, and Nexus but just not sure how or why they would relevant to me. I do see how this information would be relevant if I was part of a team (large or small).

I learned a lot of useful things, the examples and demo are great. The only problem is the audio quality which sometimes are too soft to hear using mobile devices

I love this course! I completed Maven 101 a few months ago and was really happy to grab a copy of this one too. Excellent explanation of the core concepts and how they work. Clear Audio and great Video. I'm using all this information at work now and just landed a promotion to Team Lead on the back of this! Thanks!!
