Learn from Brian Holt's courses

I really like Brian Holt's approach! As a front-end developer who only knew docker compose up/down/restart, I now understand what is going on on my machine and better understand what the upper management is talking about whenever they discuss trouble with the production build.

Loannis Nanas

Great course by Brian, especially when preceded by the Linux CLI course. Feel like I've unlocked a few super powers!

Dirk de Klerk

Great course! It helped fill in many gaps in my understanding of containers, and there were lots of great examples that I plan to use in local development.

John Camera

Great course on Containers. Once again, Brian explained every concept clearly. Especially liked the "Kompose" part, where now I can transform docker_compose files into Kubernetes service files, and build/modify from there.

Mihir Phadnis

I had been fumbling with containers for a couple of years, tweaking bits and pieces from templated code that I was given. This course filled in so many blanks, and gives me so much more confidence and understanding.

Geoff Thompson

Great general introduction to containers. Especially the beginning where Brian shows the technical foundations for containers (chroot, namespaces, and control groups) is amazing.

Patrick Stünkel

I really enjoyed this course, even though I'm not new to working with the terminal, there was plenty of stuff that was new or explained in depth.

Francisco Herrera

Normally, these kinds of courses go directly to discussing the empirical experience of using Docker and Kubernetes right away. This course is good because it goes from the origin, the real face of the containers to the current ways to do a good container and make benefit of them, I'm going now with more knowledge I was expecting, and a knowledge I can recommend for beginners to seniors to tray to explore with this course!

Bruno Alberto Becerra Gomez

Having been focused on Front End these last years, this course is amazing to get your hands dirty not only in the usual SQL and NoSQL stuff but also with other types of DBs. I'm happy to say that I'm confident again in writing queries and glad to recommend this course to rusty people like me or newcomers to the topic!

Having done React for more than 7 years and in the Front End career for more than 10, this course gave me a refresh on some of the things I need to be more aware of and what I was missing about React, and gave me the boost I needed.

This course gave me a better understanding of databases and their core functionalities. I think the knowledge I gained from this course will help me choose the right databases for different projects and work with them seamlessly.

Hasitha Peiris

I just finished this course, and I have to say, it was an incredible learning experience! The way the material was presented made even the more complex topics feel approachable and easy to understand. Everything from the structure of the lessons to the hands-on examples helped me build real, practical skills. A huge thank you to Brian Holt for putting together such a well-crafted and beginner-friendly course. Your teaching style is engaging, clear, and full of helpful insights that go beyond just the code, you truly make learning enjoyable. This course has given me the confidence to keep growing as a developer, and I’m so grateful for the knowledge and encouragement along the way. Highly recommended to anyone looking to learn from one of the best educators out there.
