The knowledge is well delivered in an easily understandable manner. Everyone should understand how WordPress operates, at least the basic, before jumping in to develop the website and install bunches of plugins that may gives thousands of headache down the road.

I needed a relatively short course that is deep enough as I've been fighting hackers for a while. In some areas I had to dig deeper (I'm a server admin as well) but this course gave me just what I needed regarding Wordpress and the things to look for against being hacked. I'm using most of the methods on live WP installations and they work.
The web server config hints are for Apache but if run a server other than that, it is easy to find the corresponding configuration in the web (for eg. Nginx).
So the course is highly recommended for people who want to get some useful yet deep enough knowledge on how to fight hackers in Wordpress.
The course is made up of short (2-3 min) videos which makes it easy to follow and digest. Thank you!

Just one remark on the topics: regarding the deletion of malware, Alexander, please include ways to clean infected Wordpress files (even if it requires some basic PHP knowledge)
