The course wasn't just about IT, it was an eye-opening experience. I learned a lot about IT and DevOps basics, as well as the importance of teamwork and breaking down silos. I would like to express my appreciation to the team who put this module together and to Coursera for providing such a valuable resource.

This was my best Coursera Course so far. All of the videos were delivered by a staff who was pretty good at online presentation and excellently delivered the modules with clarity. The quizzes and case studies elicited a deep understanding on the core concept of DevOps taught in the videos and other materials.

Very good instructor, even if the course is primarily theory, which I particularly dont really enjoy, I really loved John's way of teaching. Exhaustive and interesting points about the cultural change necessary for DevOps, made me think about my company's current state and what to improve. Thanks!

John Rofrano is literally the best instructor that I have come across - even beating out the google team. The course is very informative, very engaging, and delves into the minutia but still gives you a very clear understanding over the overarching methodologies at play. Awesome job John.

This course was easy to understand, no complications when it came to testing, no excessive information and was to the point. The instructor and team hit every point when it came to learning. When it comes to visual learning, reading, and repetition testing to grasp on what was taught.

Excellent introduction and expression of what DevOps is AND isn't. I liked the scenarios presented and the instructor's experience came through in expressing the benefits and real life difficulties in actually creating an effective DevOps culture in established companies.

I already had some basic knowledge of DevOps and I thought that this introductory course could be boring. On the contrary, it allowed me to fully connect my sparse dots, to consolidate a precise and coherent image of the field, and to embrace its culture. Well done John!

Very educational course and im impressed with how many times I said, man that happened to me when seeing what other types of reward structures there are. It made me realize I value being a social coder and it's detrimental to me when I have anti-patterns to that.

Very interesting notions, well explained, useful and necessarily applicable in the workplace. It gave me the idea of what it means to approach the DevOps culture, how to unhinge the old approach and work on an automated and quickly deployable architecture.

Excellent pace of content and easy to understand. Highly valuable, especially to someone who has at least some experience with DevOps and Lean principles.
