The course validated a lot of my existing knowledge (7+ years in CI), but also gave me new ideas which I will test out in my next job.
Marcel Hoffmann, Principle Product Marketing Manger at Cloudflare
A very good course to train or refresh your CI skills. I’d recommend for anyone who wants to learn CI to start here. It’s a good refresh and the fireside chats and bonus footage are very good and those of us with more experience will find those to be gold.
