The course is a good high level intro to git and gitlab and "CI for Beginners" is appropriate. However, for "Become a DevOps Expert" it's going to need a lot more depth in the gitlab CI part and add something for CD as there is none. I couldn't get the sample simple npm pipeline to run and taht gave me an opportunity to do some troubleshooting. It turns out that the system I'm training on is just too outdated to run newer versions of npm. Needs some clarification on using runners as by default, pipelines will try to use the shared gitlab runners. Gitlab wants a cc# for this, something they are not getting from me. I did figure out how to get the pipeline to use my locally installed runner. These finer details of runners are not covered in the course but, hey, figuring this out is just a part of my learning experience.

This course says CI for beginners but barely touches the basics of CI/CD in gitlab, but instead focuses on the gitlab web page. The content is really just how to use gitlab and very few CI-CD pipeline lessons.

Instructor is clear, and knowlegeable. The topics and pace of the course are good. Please, in future, when you show typing in a terminal window, enlarge the window font first. The text is small and faint in my browser. Otherwise, great course.

Mic volumes aren't the same on every video, videos are in 720p so it's a bit hard to read and there are some weird choices the speaker makes. For example: using node package manager to install the Linux touch command to create a file, without instructions to install NPM in the first place. The entire course is done on Windows instead of Linux. Would have been easier to suggest installing Git Bash(or how to setup WSL2) at the start of the course to have all the available commands and tools needed for the course or to use Linux from the beginning. A lot of assumptions are made about knowledge of git etc. but at the same time much of the course is geared towards beginners. So it feels like a weird mix to me but I'll follow through until the end of the course. Also a lot of typos throughout the course.

I would have liked to see far more relevant examples. If you are completely new to git and gitlab, this might be a good course, but do not expect to be barely past 'I know nothing' when it comes to applying any of this on a real project. You will not be an expert at any aspect of git or gitlab at the end of this course.

Looking for advanced details that would help on the expert path. Expected: More time on Gitlab CI and less time on Gitlab. - Multi-stage Docker Build - Docker Code/Image Deploy to remote machine - Continuous Deployment / Stop / Restart remote - Other: Immutable/Blue&Green/Canary - Advanced: Trigger another Pipeline from an existing pipeline.

This course is too short . It does't cover nor suggest you prerequisite about course. It should also cover basics of gitlab and also how remote and local repositry works. There are many topics that can be covered in this course. Although it is useful , but learning from this course is very less.

Nothing but very basic content ....basics are also not covered completely...Waste of money and time. we can find much better content on youtube.

The course was harder to understand as it progressed. The instructor's accent didn't help (editing of closed-caption would REALLY help).

Need RHEL7 version instructions instead of Windows. GitLab doesn't seem to have a way to build individual projects without using a ymal file. I should be able to build separate projects then add them to a pipeline at my discretion. I would like to see real code being compiled and to see how separate libraries can be added to do the builds. I expected much more than was provided. I should be able to decide what constitutes a rebuild, I would like the option to build every day every hours or every week, no such option was displayed in this tutorial.

The course contains a few information about GitLab CI, which promise the name of course. Spent a lot of time for git commands and other things. Either change the course name either the content. Thank you

Great introduction to GitLab. I was not very experienced in GIT, but the quick introduction in the beginning was very helpful. Great for DevOps developers - I found many many neat tricks.

No-fluff course! Gives good introduction to GitLab whch I found very useful. I wish it was longer, but as someone that is new to GitLab, the length was actually just right.

The material is very useful for engineers and developers wanting to optimize their DevOps workflow. Instructor was rather structured and the lessons had a good flow.
