What People Say About Dave's Training Courses:

"Until taking this course I thought I knew what CD was all about. I thought our pipelines were encapsulating all that CD had to offer. I was wrong. In this course you'll learn what CD is really about, both the technical disciplines as well as the business and cultural implications. If you truly want to delivery value into the hands of your customers then this course is for you!"
      - Technical Lead 

“This is a great course that covers practical aspects of, and explains the theory behind, the approach that makes a difference between the top performers and the rest of the world in today's software engineering. I highly recommend to deep dive into the details and taking all the advice presented during this course seriously… as data shows, it will result in better outcomes for you, your customers and your business”
     - Principal Engineer


“I'm still trying to process all of the knowledge but I can tell you now that it was invaluable to my professional development in DevOps! Thank you!”
