    Is this forum still alive?

    I'm a big fan of AWS Academy, especially their Learner Lab environment. Free resources, free credits.

    Employers are demanding AI skills. What's the best way to learn them?

    I hear you, and for the most part, I agree (though I teach one class that has students from a wide variety of industries, and some of them genuinely do have a choice in the matter--for now). As @jason_wood pointed out, students also have some valid concerns that deserve to be addressed. I'm a...

    Reminder: DataSys+ Beta Open

    One thing I was pleasantly surprised about is how the exam has candidates apply broader concepts (like networking or security) specifically to databases. So for example, do you understand how databases rely on DNS to function? Do you understand how to configure a firewall for database...

    Employers are demanding AI skills. What's the best way to learn them?

    How many of you are getting a lot of pushback from students on being required or advised to work with and learn AI in your courses? I expected and received some pushback from other faculty, and my school is actually doing a pretty good job (I think) of working with those issues. What I didn't...

    Passed PTO-003 today

    Same here, I squeaked it through on Thursday (the day the voucher expired, lol). There was a lot more emphasis this time on tooling, and you really had to know what the tools do, generally how they work, not just basic definitions of key terms. I was so glad I spent the bulk of my study time on...

    Passed CompTIA SecAI+ (CY0-001)

    Haha, I can so relate. Get in there and wrangle those questions, the predictable panic (the worst is looking at that first exam question and thinking, "Why in the world did I think I could do this?!" 😅 Then take a deep breath, start reading the question, and realize, "Oh wait, I think I actually...

    Took the DataSys+ beta

    I had access to the current CertMaster Learn course for a few days before I took the exam. But mostly, I just used the objectives and my study buddy, Google.

    Took the DataSys+ beta

    I took the DataSys+ beta earlier this week. I like the updates to this exam. It seems better scoped than the current version. It took a little bit of Net+, a bit of Cloud+, a good chunk of Sec+--all in the context of databases--and then mixed in lots of database content. I had 4-5 PBQs (can't...
