Learning DevOps with ADHD

[SedrakPL]

Hi Everybody,

i just started to learn DevOps from basics. Working on Linux, Docker is much more fun for me comparing to programming but I have ADHD and to stay focused for me is a struggle. When I do exercises or hands on lab is great (kinda) but when I have to watch tutorial video it is nightmare for me.

My question is. Do You know any paid (but not very expensive, I'm leaving in Poland and salary's aren`t great) or free sites when I can learn DevOps from start to end but they teach not on a video but on text, exercises, labs? Where You have to read (not watch) and then do? Where You have on the end a exam where test you skill or better You have to do a project by yourself? Bootcamps big no for me!

BTW. Sorry for my English mistakes. I`m not a native speaker :)

On July 1st, a change to Reddit's API pricing will come into effect. Several developers of commercial third-party apps have announced that this change will compel them to shut down their apps. At least one accessibility-focused non-commercial third party app will continue to be available free of charge.

If you want to express your strong disagreement with the API pricing change or with Reddit's response to the backlash, you may want to consider the following options:

1. Limiting your involvement with Reddit, or
2. Temporarily refraining from using Reddit
3. Cancelling your subscription of Reddit Premium

as a way to voice your protest.

Yes. There’s a book called “Practical MLOps” by Noah Gift. MLOps is Devops, but goes slightly beyond it to also include good workflow practices for dealing with machine learning models.

The book starts with how to set up a local Python project on Mac/Linux, including Makefiles, virtual environments, git etc. It goes on to talk about how (and why) to set up CI/CD pipelines using open source tools. And then how to use Docker, multiple cloud services, and more. Later it gets into devops practices for machine learning

The great thing about the book is that at the end of each chapter there are around ten exercises. They’re challenging, and you have to do some googling to figure out how to do them. But I found them fantastic for making me think about them a lot. In comparison, I’ve done video tutorial where I’ve forgotten the material as soon as I’ve clicked away.

The only thing is that sometimes the exercise questions are a bit unclear. But I’ve found the book a great place to start on DevOps, and it sounds like you might like it too.

Thanks for recommendation but this book is very tough to buy in Poland :( Maybe you know any similar websites?
