Collecting Terraform Resources

I just finished and got a LinkedIn Learning (AKA Lynda.com) course published last month on Learning Terraform (LinkedIn Learning Course & Lynda.com Course). Immediately after posting that I spoke with my editor at LinkedIn Learning and agreed on the next two courses I’ll record: Terraform Essentials and Go for Site Reliability Engineers. Consider me stoked to be putting this material together and recording more video courses, this is a solid win, as the internet dogge would say, “much excite, very wow”!

The following are some recent materials I’ve dug up in regards to Terraform, Go, and Site Reliability work. Some of which will very likely find it’s way into influencing my courses. Good material here if you’re looking for some solid, and arguably more advanced approaches, to your Terraform work.

Dell XPS 13 Re-review of Existing Laptop

Some years ago, while working with a whole crew of great people at CDK in Portland, Oregon I picked up a new Dell XPS 13. I even wrote a review about it titled “The Latest 5th Generation Dell XPS 13 Developer Edition“. I had been inspired at the time to pick up this laptop after checking out my friend’s XPS 13. Joe (@joeinglish) provided a good sell of the thing to me, and I purchased the laptop less than 24 hours after checking his laptop out!

Joe’s laptop, my  laptop, or is it my laptop and Joe’s laptop?
