Wish there would have been a bit more detail. Don't think I would consider myself an expert after this course like the title states, but definitely gives you a baselines understanding.

The course is a good high level intro to git and gitlab and "CI for Beginners" is appropriate. However, for "Become a DevOps Expert" it's going to need a lot more depth in the gitlab CI part and add something for CD as there is none. I couldn't get the sample simple npm pipeline to run and taht gave me an opportunity to do some troubleshooting. It turns out that the system I'm training on is just too outdated to run newer versions of npm. Needs some clarification on using runners as by default, pipelines will try to use the shared gitlab runners. Gitlab wants a cc# for this, something they are not getting from me. I did figure out how to get the pipeline to use my locally installed runner. These finer details of runners are not covered in the course but, hey, figuring this out is just a part of my learning experience.

This course says CI for beginners but barely touches the basics of CI/CD in gitlab, but instead focuses on the gitlab web page. The content is really just how to use gitlab and very few CI-CD pipeline lessons.

Instructor is clear, and knowlegeable. The topics and pace of the course are good. Please, in future, when you show typing in a terminal window, enlarge the window font first. The text is small and faint in my browser. Otherwise, great course.

Mic volumes aren't the same on every video, videos are in 720p so it's a bit hard to read and there are some weird choices the speaker makes. For example: using node package manager to install the Linux touch command to create a file, without instructions to install NPM in the first place. The entire course is done on Windows instead of Linux. Would have been easier to suggest installing Git Bash(or how to setup WSL2) at the start of the course to have all the available commands and tools needed for the course or to use Linux from the beginning.

A lot of assumptions are made about knowledge of git etc. but at the same time much of the course is geared towards beginners. So it feels like a weird mix to me but I'll follow through until the end of the course.

Also a lot of typos throughout the course.
