Other Jenkins videos are very old and this video helped me a lot. Thanks

[abbeydauda]

I like the way you teach especially with your good sense of humor, thanks for a job well done

[ClinsenYT]

Massive thank you! Absolutely love your approach to teaching. You sound like a real mentor who is both enthusiastic and well-versed in a subject; and stuff you teach in your videos is always coherent and easy to follow, which makes the learning process very pleasing. Keep up the good work 🙏

To good so far, appreciate the way you clinch all the chapters in the crash course...
Thank you Cameron!

[martindevelops]

Hands down, one of the best jenkins courses I have used.

[kinsalesocial]

Loving the course! Been through a lot of courses on YT, Udemy, etc and I have learned more in your course than anyone elses!

[chethannv.]

Your way of teaching and cool attitude makes learning fun and easier. Thank you Cameron Mckenzie.

[ivanphone]

Very comprehensive Jenkins tutorial. Most Jenkins courses don’t cover that much about continuous deployment.

[DheerajSinghal]

Exactly the way you mentioned, Its packed with information and the best tutorial I have come across. Thank you

[fayasputhukkudi]

[antonisp]

Hello!
Thank you for the excellent content!
I had some hard time configuring the spock-lizard-docker-pipeline (I failed to understand what happened wrong and what it need to be fixed).

[nathanielswanson]

@24:00 Haha. Yes, you got me. It is indeed a white ! on a red circle. I was like, 'Yep, it's right there.... Oh, wait...'

[djfago]

I am very new to devops and my question is where can I learn those commands? Like the one you entered to trigger the build and also date, time kind of commands? I have noticed that no one is talking about this

[GreggBolinger]

Still watching, good so far. Might have been nice to see an "install" via docker instead of Windows MSI. I don't run Windows. :o)

[jarbesbarboza]

wow, it is an amazing tutorial!! do you have a course? i would take it

[JoeMcMullin]

Great tutorial, been out of the CI/CD game for a while and came across your channel as I delve into more knowledge getting back up to speed. Everything in your video worked as advertised, can't say that for most other tutorials. There always seems to be a point where the tutorials break down and fail. Not this time, spot on and thank you. Liked, Subscribed and Commented, just trying to help the algorithm.
