NGINX MasterClass: NGINX Server & Custom Load Balancer- 2024

O curso tem conteúdo raso, não aborda temas importantes e gasta muito tempo sem ir direto ao poto de aprendizado. TOdo o conteúdo poderia ser dividido em menos da metade do tempo

Course is great, but I have to give one star less because of low resolusion (blurry content) and missing captions.

First of all, big thanks for this course to Anshul! It's a great introduction course for System Administrators or Web Programmers who are just getting started with NGINX. It's more a beginner course, not advanced. After this course you can safely start working with NGINX and dive deeper to more advanced features and write more advanced configs with the help of NGINX documentation or another resources. To further explore NGINX and solidify its fundamental concepts I can recommend this section - http://nginx.org/en/books.html You can get advanced book "The Complete NGINX Cookbook" by Derek DeJonghe here for free - https://www.nginx.com/resources/library/complete-nginx-cookbook/?utm_source=nginxorg&utm_medium=books&utm_campaign=ebooks This is another free handbook "The NGINX Handbook" by Farhan Hasin Chowdhury here - https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/the-nginx-handbook/ I would like to highlight a few cons: - No certbot introduction. Certbot now is essential part of NGINX configuration, because you want to have all your traffic to the internet encrypted. Certbot is the best way to start using free Let's Encrypt SSL certs. - You will not get best practices from this course, on the contrary, you will get the wrong idea about some concepts. For example, throughout the course you will use the main nginx.conf file. Which in fact is usually not touched at all. All user configs should be in /etc/nginx/conf.d or /etc/nginx/sites-avalaible for Ubuntu nginx package (it's an old deprecated way). I understand that it's ok for using the main config to demonstrate simple things clearly. But it would be much better to tell the students at some point in the course that they don't actually need to use the main config file in real world and that this approach is even the worst practice. - Sometimes Anshul is wrong about some concepts or tools. There are also mistakes in Anshul's configs. For example, there are mistakes from "Avoiding the Top 10 NGINX Configuration Mistakes" list. It's not a big deal for experienced Sysadmins, but we are talking about beginner's course... - The biggest con of the course is dead Q&A section. And as I understand, it's not the problem of a small user base. There are some questions without an answer. I started a thread about "29. Lab : Configure NGINX as Reverse Proxy". There are mistakes in Anshul's config presented in video. And what do you think happened? :) My question was just deleted. Anyway, I'm glad that this course exists and I really appreciate Anshul's hard work, thanks and wish a nice day to all the students :)

I am rating this course 5 because I really like the approach which covers from basic to advanced. People who are not from the development background also can understand the technology. I have taken most of the courses from same Instructor on Terraform basic to advance, Helm, Devops using Jenkins docker. I am searching for Ingress traefik course from the same Instructor. I would like to go through other courses with same Instructor on Kafka if available. Request, please send a notification on new courses. Hats off to you for your experience and Indepth knowledge and sharing your knowledge.

Content seems fine not that good but it editing of video is creating wrong impress, like 10th video it shows iMovie default title and description, which shows careless behaviour of creator, and as other mentioned it is sometime feel like reading PPT and not actual meaning and reason shared.

This class is awesome! I am really thankful to the author and instructor for the variety and depth of all materials presented.

Above average explanations. Most of them are clear. Some should be improved. Example: PUT vs POST requests - totally not explaining the meaningful difference b/w both of the requests. The guy is showing fake/wrong configurations, e.g. video 28, lab 1

The course is well organized but one issue on some of the sections only ppt reading was happening without comprehensive explanations.

Closed captions should be standard in all paid lectures. a) Most important: Those with hearing impairments. b) Using more of our senses when learning information helps with retention. c) Allows speeding up the video (beyond 1.5x) for parts of the lecture and still absorbing all the information. d) A transcript is always nice to have for review. Closed Captions has nothing to do with the instructor's accent.

Very thorough review of the Nginx web server. I did have a small issue in that my current version of nginx is 1.20.1 and some of the configuration syntax seems to have changed. I was able to figure it out but it just took a little longer. In addition, I have Nginx running on CentOS 7. Not sure if that would explain some of the syntax differences.

The course content is ok, but it is difficult for non-native English speakers to understand, due to the strong accent of the instructor, this course urgently needs a caption.

Itś an okay introduction into nginx. Certainly not a masterclass, there is a lot more to cover than these basic steps. The language is a bit exhausting to listen to for a long time but itś okay. I liked that there were a lot of handouts compared to other courses which hardly put up some written content. the balance between theory and practice was good.

Pretty Good. Not perfect, but would definitely advice to take this course when you are starting out with nginx.

Course content and knowledge is good. Concepts explained in a linear way. There might be some difficulties for some people to understand English spoken in this course as there is an issue with grammar at most places.

Very useful course for practical implementation with good coverage of various capabilities of NGINX as webserver, proxy, reverse-proxy.
