I bought this course a while back and never had time to review it or go through the material,I havent gone through courses but I have skipped through videos to see what is presented there are some useful information but After doing a university class on log analysis this course now looks too too basic and shallow.

esta bien pero esperaba mejores explicaciones en el analisis manual de logs en nginx. A lot of theory sometimes so much theory is exhausting, Many tools are paid

Love the personable intro, color-coding, and organization. Some unfamiliar terminology is assumed knowledge - a little over my head as a basic web developer. Reading text and listening is good for me, until it doesn't match. Then I get lost. Maybe highlight what you are reading so we know where you are if you stray from the text. Kind of sleepy with infrequent interaction.
