[@AparnaB77]

Successfully cleared the exam. This course is a excellent way to to get started with Github actions. Supplement this course with skill-cert pro practice tests (500 questions with detailed explanations) which are very close to actual exam. Almost 80% came from these practice tests. there were total of 75 questions in exam. Scored 96%. All it took me exactly a week for preparation.

[@Uchorum]

Can you share the link to the tests, please?

[@IndianSumaira]

tip for newbies, set the playbackspeed for this video at 0.75 for better absorbtion of the content, Thank you for this awesome video. God bless!

[@irisluxton]

I love all of his tutorials, so down to earth, so humble, no pretense, just a genuine nice person that is passionate in what he is doing.

[@dirremoire]

Saw a job posting asking for 10 years experience with Giithub actions 😆

[@hey_mr_ash]

That’s funny as hell I guess they didn’t realize it’s only been out since 2018 according to google.

I have 12.5 years of GitHub actions experience 🙃

[@IndianSumaira]

ya, i mean now days it's very common to see such job postings. Also, they want king of all technology, not jack of all🤣

[@mariangasparovic6200]

Course is very good but could have been great with more preparation. Too much time is just random jumping among many tabs and "I guess it is like this", "let's try this", "not sure what this does" etc.

[@the5to9life]

Yeah what was that all about? Never expected Andrew Brown to do the "Wing it" method

​@kelvinparmar6836 Hi, I don't have any industrial experience with Github, but I'm interested in taking the Github Action certification exam. Can you please provide me with some guidance on how to prepare for and take this exam? It's important for me to complete this intermediate certificate for my KRA in my current organization. Thank you!

Thanks for putting this video together and sharing your knowledge!. But to be honest, the frequent pauses and moments when you're unsure made it a bit hard to follow. A bit of editing or some prep beforehand would make it a lot smoother. Not trying to complain about free content. Just some feedback of someone trying to learn the study material. Looking forward to the next videos.

[@homopoluza]

Yeah, watching someone debugging is also useful, but I would prefer a more structured approach, m'kay

[@dus10dnd]

There is always a tell when a "prolific creator" doesn't have the skills needed. Not knowing where in the GitHub UI to manually trigger a workflow is this video's tell. That has got to be the first way everyone learns.

[@Marcin_pl]

Thanks a ton, perfect timing for me :) I liked the troubleshooting live without cutting the video up. It's a bit longer but one can learn interesting things from it. Just noticed a small typo in 2:23:32, it should be AKS instead in there.

[@ExamProChannel]

Well thats good because I prefer to trouble video even if it adds time.

[@pulijalagopal5740]

Just a suggestion at 47:00 regards to pipeline not being run when you did a push on dev branch before creating a PR and merging into main branch. The workflow file need to exist in the main branch before it can work on other working branches within the repo. Thanks for the course.

[@lavinyacorreia_]

Incredible video!! Congrats for the work done and thank you, from Brazil 😄

[@bugagashen6ka]

**Note regarding "scheduled workflows":** The shortest interval at which scheduled workflows can be triggered is once every 5 minutes.

[@carlosjosechaconchavarria]

great series, any chance to add the Github video course for Admin or Security? thanks a lot for making this available to everyone

[@ravshanbekortikov1805]

Andrew, much respect

[@austin.valentine]

Not qualified to teach this course. Just because he's been using it and playing around and brute forcing until something works doesn't mean he actually understands it, which he clearly doesn't. Some proper preparation would have exposed this and he would have been able to fix it beforehand by making sure he had a robust understanding and knew exactly what he was going to teach. Hope he learns something from this about how to put together presentations.

[@AK-ox3mv]

Last time I participated in class you weared winter clothes on a minus 7 degree office 😀 Thanks for your cources ✌️

[@Vasko10100]

This course is a complete chaos! Jumping from one topic to another. Pity.

[@chiragpareek7855]

Hi, I can see the struggle you have try to fix yamls on expression at 01:29:00 and other things, the reason why you getting error is because you got colon(:) in the double quotes. Thanks me later, nice tutorial though :D

[@chandrashekharkotekar8453]

Content is good but when author says "I guess", "I am not really sure", "I don't really remember", "I think it's" lot of time, his reputation is at japordy. If he had said it few times then it could have been okay. Other than this everything is great, learned a lot.

[@UTJK.]

There are people humble enough to say "I don't know" and yet smart and tenacious enough to overcome the doubts and find the way to the solution.

More prep before the course would have been better! A lot of "I guess" and "not sure"

[@MohanSeshasaiVasa]

At 01:44:10, bro struggled to run the self-hosted runner and gave up at last. Actually he forgot to run one of the main command - "./run.sh" :)

[@umbrellak2]

This course really should be better prepared. In many places snippets code contain some bugs, in result, during 20% of time the trainer struggling with some syntax or missconfiguration. From my perspective it looks like not enough experience in this area, course is a little bit chaotic and not tested well. By and large content could be much shorter and not wasting time of learners for watching how author jumping from place to place trying solve issue.

You cant use : without escaping it...thats the typo from webhooks and on and on. You can just remove or escape :, not everything

The CKA and CKAD would be easy for me to produce but we don't have a means to support the creation of courses because Linux Foundation or CNCF take away the only value add that would enable us to create those courses. But yeah I'd like to make them if I could
