Customer Comments
Class was excellent, and the Instructor was even better! Robin Beck is the best!
this is a great class, with great content and mentor
Just Great!
I will recommend this class to my organization as one of the more complete solutions to on boarding new Chef users.
This was the best course I've ever taken. The instructor was just GREAT!
This was the best training class I've taken. It was online using Zoom, it was super easy to share code and collaborate. The instructor kept everything going at a perfect pace and his knowledge and expertise on the topic was evident. 22 years of training in my career and this was hands down the best class I've taken. Better than classroom training. Looking forward to more!
Even though I've been using Chef for three years, I found this class immensely useful; not only did it allow me to examine and compare my current practices to those presented in the training, but I learned several new techniques for using Chef tools.
I don't usually like online training, but this training was great and Eric is really good, well-organized, and in control. The way he engaged each participants is amazing, and how he troubleshoot issues.
