The content is outdated and the course could be expanded. The bonus materials at the end are not related to the topic but to WordPress. Other than that, I liked what I learned but it was too short.

The technical content is good, but the course clearly needs updating and is confusing to follow on a Windows laptop.

I like the information so far, it aims to solve my main problem, but I still don't understand what the platform, or chef/puppet are.

In the second section, it would have been helpful if there were supporting images to reinforce what he was talking about. The tech stack image that he kept referring to was missing from the text module at the beginning of the section. So I had no visual reference to what he was talking about. Simply showing a person talking is less effective than seeing supporting imagery.
