In this course, we are going to be exploring one of the most powerful Web Server technologies available. One that has grown in popularity exponentially since its release - Yes, we are talking about NGINX.
Whether you are an experienced web developer or new to the industry, you’ve likely heard of the age-old debate between Apache and NGINX. Which one is better, what should you use? This course offers a great introduction into NGINX. We will be covering several important topics, such as:

Modifying the NGINX Block Configuration file for hosting Websites
Installing essential components on NGINX such as MySQL, PHP & PhpMyAdmin

Securing your hosted websites with free SSL using Certbot & Let’s Encrypt
Installing and Configuring WordPress on your NGINX Server
We will be using Digital Ocean droplets for this course, but you can create a virtual server with any cloud hosting provider of your choice. The configuration steps would be the same, regardless of who you host with. Also, we will be using the latest LTS version of Ubuntu (18.04).

It's look likes the instructor knows good about what he is talking about, maybe he needs to put in the requirements in order to do this course, previous knowlage about nginex, and also make some comparison wich another ways to dowload wordpress. Also, maybe explain more slowly the comands that he is using, and the orders that he type, in this way that helps to follow the structure of the commands that he is using, if the student doesn't have a lot of knowlage previous of nginx like in my case. Was very interesting. Thank you so much.

There are no files or resources that have used commands in the course and sometimes one can't see what command is being used. text file containing commands will be useful.
