It was good except i totally lost in several exercise. I would recommend you to have few more videos with process.

Good for beginner. For DB2 it would be great if a 15-20 minute video is made. Also for IMS DB/DC if there can be some video with practical then it would be very much helpful.

The course was good but certain parts was difficult to understand in each section especially when one lab is showing one thing and when you log in, you are seeing something totally different and have to fish around to find what you are looking for. You end up spending an absorbent amount of time completing the lab and turns into hours instead of the usual 30 minutes that the lab states. I think as the instructor, they can show you as they do in certain labs. It seems when the content gets more complex, then they stop showing you how to do something at that point. It would resolve some of the questions I believe.

I have to admit the material real sticks after getting through the first course, you can go back to review completed courses and I was pleasantly surprised on the fact that it all made more sense at the second look. I loved the added humor included during the instructional videos, it made the course really fun, I actually looked forward to watching the instructional videos.

Interesting and fun set of courses. A good refresher for someone who used to work in mainframes earlier operating systems, such as MVS.

This basic course is for system programmers with no prior SMP experience who plan to use SMP/E for system and subsystem

Así como hay vídeos de intro a cada tema, también se deberían visualizar los vídeos de practicas o ejercicios y no estar registrándote en otros lugares dejando tus datos personales por todos lados, como sugerencia los ejercicios o practicas se deberían realizar sobre un caso aplicado al area.
