What do we need from you?
Check it out and provide feedback! We’re publishing this in chunks to help make it worth it for you to spend a few hours of your valuable time and provide feedback. This is the only way we can make it better before the GA version is released. Three chapters seems like a reasonable amount and we’ll try to keep it around that size for the next EA releases.
You can find the Early Access version here: https://rol.redhat.com/rol/app/courses/do378ea-2.7
What kind of feedback do we want from you?
- Identify things that are broken and don’t work in GE & Labs
- Identify things in lectures that are wrong or unclear
- Identify and flag superfluous content that can be removed
- Note how long it takes you to finish an exercise or read a lecture
- Does the overall flow work and do the topics as they are grouped in chapters make sense?
You can provide feedback in a couple of ways:
- Use the big red FEEDBACK button in the course (preferred)
- Respond to this thread or email
On behalf of the team, I can promise you that we are listening and will respond to all issues. There is always a chance of a WONTDO or NOFIX in the response, but it will be discussed with a reason behind it. The reason might be something as practical as us not having enough time or being forced to make a trade-off with the included content. Don’t let that discourage you, though. We don’t know what we don’t know and having your perspectives and feedback is essential.
