What Students Say

"Like in the Java course, Terry exceeded my expectations as an instructor, and I've learned a lot from both courses, even beyond covering the topic themselves, but generally about the field itself. I appreciate the effort he puts in trying to give a view and understanding of how things are done in real production environments compared to what we do in the courses. Since I'm a dev that recently almost 100% shifted to Linux, this has been very valuable. Many thanks Terry."
