Serverless Integration Patterns: Course Recommendation

Recently my friend and colleague Toli gave me an opportunity to take this course:

Serverless Integration Patterns by James Eastham.

I've watched a larger part of the course over the last weekend, and I really, really like it:

  1. It is very well made, the editing is very professional.

  2. James's "talking head" in the top-right corner gives it this "human touch".
    I feel like I'm attending a lecture, not a conference talk or a powerpoint presentation with someone reading the slides from behind the screen.

  3. The course is very comprehensive and even though I know some (most?) of the things it covers, I don't get the urge to skip, because I don't want to pop out of the flow that James's narration puts me into.

  4. The sample code uses Hexagonal Architecture (aka Ports and Adapters), which is my favorite.

I don't have time for a more in-depth review (some other time), but I'd recommend this course to everyone, from junior (even though the description says it's not for beginners) to principal.

You will learn a lot and/or have that warm feeling of "oh, yeah, I know that, it's so nice to know what an expert is talking about".
