webapp.io's Free 2 hour DevOps Engineering Course with FreeCodeCamp
Why we made this course
DevOps education has always been core to what we do here at webapp.io - making it easier for software developers and product stakeholders to master complex things without too much work. When DevOps first became popular and integral to a the software development lifecycle, it became instantly expensive on the infrastructure side as well as the educational side. DevOps became only accessible to a small portion of the development workforce. We're not an advocate for zero DevOps, since many full stack applications that power great businesses cannot go without integral steps in their workflows. But we are an advocate for easier DevOps, and a greater understanding of what DevOps engineering means.
Partnering with FreeCodeCamp
We're so pleased to have partnered with the great team at FreeCodeCamp.org. After many meetings, phone calls, and over 100+ hours of course development, we've launched our first educational partnership earlier this week to make DevOps concepts more accessible.
Since our course launch earlier this week, the FreeCodeCamp team informed us with excitement that this course is their #1 most popular course in the past 10 courses with over 75,000 views in 4 days.
The ad revenue received on FreeCodeCamp's Youtube helps them launch more wonderful courses as an organization, so we recommend checking out their Youtube channel as well as the original uploaded video below:
