It is a great explanation, but author don't support us with sources for apps or programs used in the lessons which affects full understanding for the course.

Very very basic stuff, thought it would go a bit deeper to be honest. I did pick up a few tid bits but over all just not enough depth.

I liked the course. It was very enlightening. But I didn't like a nag screen coming up in the middle of it asking if I liked the course which I was in the middle of watching.

Covered core topics very clearly and concisely. I feel that this course moved me from "advanced beginner" to "intermediate" in my ability to create and manage different types of VMs on multiple environments. Great course!

Yes a good match. I would have liked to see the install of the vm on the hardware rather than jumping into the vm config

I got a good overview of VMWare. I would like a continuation of this course with some hands on LABs from the same instructor.

Does well enough as an introductory course. The instructor was knowledgeable and delivered the material in an informal, organic style.

I really enjoyed his teaching. Proffesional really help guide you every step of the way. I also liked the instructor explanied the different terminologies and what they mean which further assisted with the learning curve as well as the recorder video that the instructor had that allowed you to not only listen to the instructor but also see exactly what he was doing in vmware.

I have been working with VMWare Fusion and VMWare Workstation for a few years, so I thought this course would be a great review on, the basics of using the software. The course did go over the basics of using VMWare Workstation and it gave me more that what I had expected from the course. The Section entitled, All About VMWare Networking, was great for me, because it helped to clear a few questions, that I had about networking, between virtual machines. I learned a couple of new things about the basics of VMWare Workstation, that I did not know about and I would have expected to be more advanced. The two topics that come to mind are VMWare ESXi and virtual appliances. I knew about VMWare ESXi, but I did not know that it does not require an OS to run the program. After listening to the section, on virtual machine (VM) appliances, I looked at some of the examples of the VMWare website, to learn more about them and how they work. I was also finally able to learn how to virtualize a physical computer. It has been something, that I have been curious about, but never got around to finding out how this is done. Mr. Farren Constable was very clear, in his presentations, the videos were very helpful and reinforced, what his objectives were in each video. I did not have any problems with any of the videos. I did the laptop running in one of the videos, but it was because I was listening to the lecture with headphones. Overall a very great course. Thank you for sharing your knowledge on this subject.

Some of the information was in need of an update, but overall it was a strong into to the basics of VMWare.

The course covers a lot of good information on various free VMware products. It needs an update to the latest versions.

Great intro course to what VMWare covers. Easily illustrates the highlights of what you can do and what to expect. Only criticism is in a few lectures the audio instruction has a verbal flub that should either be edited out or re-recorded. No big deal, but it takes you out of the topic for a moment.

The best course I have taken on this site. Lots of good information for a small price. You keep it interesting and very clear. I hope there are more to come. ​
