excellent course. instructor was knowledgeable and to the point. completed in an afternoon and am able to build significantly on this.
it was an excellent use of my time.

if i had one gripe it was with the web domain setup and testing. you need to have that set up and ready which adds to the time to completion. but we're in IT so this isn't a big stretch. there are other techniques to test this.

But a really good course.

Course was concise and to the point with easy to follow instructions.

I would have liked to have seen some security tips such as firewall setup, ports, etc, and information about when individual services fail.
