That the course was tailored to my needs based on the pre-course questionnaire. Parts I felt stronger on were given less time so that we could focus on my less knowledgeable topics, which improved the pacing of the course. Lukasz was very good at explaining a given topic based on my experience level, and had a lot of relevant examples to match that level.
Evan Lynskey - Marine Institute
Course - Master Drupal 9 Site Building / Architecture
Luke was able to adapt content to my requirements, its was fantastic
Taru Khanna
Course - Administering a Drupal 7 Website
How it covered the topic in a highly comprehensive manner.
Kathryn Blanch - Thales Group
Course - Drupal 8 Themes
Topics that were covered were done well and with relevant exercises, and several times Lukasz also referred back to the structure of our own council website to show where certain entities we had talked about in the training were already in use on the site, which I thought was a good way to cement the ideas that had been learned.
Rob O'Driscoll - Limerick City & County Council
Course - Building Web Applications with Drupal 8, Views, Fields and Panels
I enjoyed the 2 days are very less for cover all the topics.
