This was one of the best courses I've taken so far. I understood and relate to a lot of was being explained. The way the concepts and scenarios was delivered as also on point. English is my second language therefore sometimes I have to make an additional effort to understand the content but John way of talking/exposing ideas was very clear and easy to follow.

John Jofrano is now my favorite trainer!!

Thank you very much.

I took this course as part of the IBM DevOps and Software Engineering professional certificate. I found the instructor very easy to understand and relate to. The videos were engaging and interesting. The examples and discussion forums were definitely targeted towards people who already have software engineering experience, but that applies to me, so I found the course very relevant and useful.

Very useful course and the way Jon Ruffalo describes every aspect of DevOps is fun to watch and learn. Every software engineer must enroll in this course so they could find the differences between DevOps culture and DevOps team. Thank you IBM and any other who are involved in making the course. The scenarios in the last module are very enjoyable to read and solve the Quizzes. Learnt a lot.😁😁

For a non-IT profressional like me--working in government who frequently hears the terms "agile" "Scrum" and "devops" from my friends in the IT field--this course was a perfect oviervew and introduction! It was simple and easy to follow---focussing on history, concepts, theory, research, descriptions of technical terms, enjoyable case scenarios. Great job to the team and the instructor!

First of all, I want to thank Coursera for this session, because I truly enjoyed it. I didn't know a lot about DevOps before I started this course, how it functions, where we need to make changes and a lot more new things I will learn in this course. I also want to thank John Rofrano, sir, who taught me. Thank you so much, Coursera, for this wonderful course.

Fantastic course that taught the basics of DevOps to help build a strong foundation of how to drive a workplace culture. I would recommend to anyone wanting to enter the world of technology or is currently working in it. For band 2 and up I would say this is something definitely worth using to better themselves and their team's culture to be more DevOps.

Very useful course with lots of real-life examples and lots of insights coming with. Helped me to understand what DevOps really means. As a software engineer I thought that I know the meaning of DevOps, but when I started the course I realized that my idea was totally wrong. Many thanks to the lecturer, it was really interesting dive into DevOps culture.

This course is very crisp and clear! I learnt so much on key players and background practices that form the pillars of Devops. It became very clear that Devops isn't just about tools, Dev & Ops - it is a culture! I am not sure any other instructor on the planet could have done a better job. Thank you John for the job well done.

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.

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.

I was always thinking to myselft about roadmaps and what should I know in DevOps, but after this course I can say: I know a little about DevOps and what should I do and what shouldn't. I know a little about DevOps history and requriements.

spacial thanks from IBM and John Rofrano
