The trainer explained the subjects very good with actual examples from real world which made it simpler for us to grasp the information
Florin-Viorel Marut - Continental Automotive Romania
Course - High-Performance Application Development with .NET Core
It took up good stuff with a good speed, and not stayed in areas that was not important, left that to the student when the course was over. I mean that for a 2 day course it is a good value.
Mikael Forsberg - Kvadrat Örebro AB
Course - Introduction to .Net Core
Very hands on knowledge on the subject. A little bit of theory at the beginning to set the stage.
Thibault Chappuis - Mikron SA Boudry
Course - Entity Framework Core 2.0
I appreciated Folio's wide breadth of knowledge. Not only was he familiar with the course content, but he also knew of constructs in languages we were familiar with to make examples more meaningful to us. During intervals he shared his knowledge of technologies and solutions outside the training scope to provide insights into other solutions we could use in future (and future training).
