From an instructor's perspective, I love you reply. I think that DO180 and DO288 is the perfect combination. Why? I get to see that "the penny has dropped" moment. When students get why containers are insufficient for enterprise requirements. I have a video idea on this, and this has inspired me to put my idea forward. Cheers mate!

I second your comment on DO288. Its a fantastic class for developers and I truly enjoyed delivering that class.

My favourite course has been DO280.
