It's a good quality course for the price I paid at discount. VM creation part could be cut off and practice exams could simulate real world questions

I just started the course , the contents seems helpful and detailed. But the starting music on each sub-section is driving me crazy, it's shown every few minutes. I suggest to just show it once on each section

Starting with the basics even if you already "knows it all" makes your previous understanding to make sense.

Most of the codes are outdated, and the packages required are missing. This course needs to be updated.

I got good knowledge and experience on Azure DevOps after going with this course. This is my 3rd course from Alan. First two are AZ900 and 104. I got good experience with azure after attending Alan AZ 900, 104 and 400. Thanks for your time to prepare a course at a low price on Udemy.

Alan stands out for his meticulous approach, providing comprehensive and detailed information. He offers multiple methods and a hands-on experience, leaving no room for confusion or uncertainty. His methodical nature ensures a logical and organized learning experience. He covers topics step by step, catering to both beginners and advanced learners. The level of detail is commendable, breaking down complex concepts into easily understandable pieces. With clear instructions and practical examples, ensures a hands-on experience

Constant segways. Prereq's in the wrong order. Struggling with some of the verbal flow (pauses, as / has). Constantly demo'ing steps before explaining what is being attempted which makes is extremely difficult to know the importance and whether the notes are required. Too Visual Studio focused (should use free Visual Studio Code). No or not enough diagrams to explain ideas. I appreciate presentation so far but it's definitely difficult to note / follow.

Just started this course, will review it later. Till now course is helpful but the sound in the beginning of every video is quite irritating, I thought it would be in 1st module only but when checked randomly found this in every video. Please cut this part from video.
