Show HN: Ansible Crash Course

#1

Post by movedx »

Hi Everyone.

My name is Mike. I've created a free Ansible Crash Course. It's a course aimed at people who are new to Ansible and want to get up and running quickly. It goes into a fair amount of detail on most topics, but should something be missing just let me know and I'll add it in.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated! Just note an email address is required to register for the course - this is a limitation of the platform I'm using to host the course. Sorry about that!

The course can be found over here: https://www.thecloud.coach/ansible-crash-course

Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated!

Thanks a bunch,

Mike.

One suggestion: Once one video ends, it would be nice if we would be re-directed or if the following video would load automatically. Presently, I have to manually navigate from the current topic to the next and then activate the video to begin playing... This is of course very minor, but it would still be a nice update.

[edit: fix spelling fail]

What will me email address be used for?

Not op but it is mentioned in the Show HN blurb above: > Just note an email address is required to register for the course - this is a limitation of the platform I'm using to host the course. Sorry about that!

Crap. My habit of skimming strikes again

This won't be really helpful to you since you've already built it, but I'm the kind of person who doesn't like videos. I AM interested in Ansible, but I don't want to sit through videos about it; I want to read and follow the examples as I do.

Actually, I wonder what the split is between people who prefer videos vs people who prefer reading?

That doesn't quite seem like an answer. Can I put in a fake address? If I put in a real address, will the platform decide to spam me?

I truly prefer videos over text, I mean, in a perfect world, I want both, but for me, Videos are faster If I want to learn something from Zero. And for deeper understanding I go to the official documentation. But of course, that's my opinion, some time a fast tutorial will do it.

Like, can I use https://temp-mail.org/en/ or will I need the email to access the material at a future date?
