Course Information
Course Overview
Use Jekyll, a popular static site generator, to harness the power of GitHub Pages. Faster websites, deployed via Git.
Jekyll is the world's most popular static-site generator. This enables web developers to use many of the features of server-side Content Management Systems (like templates, themes, and blog-awareness) while taking advantage of the speed, security, and simplicity of static sites. Plus, this mighty little Ruby script lives on both your computer and on GitHub's servers, which means you get super-fast hosting that's only a `git push` away, and free for you and all your collaborators!

Podría yo leer los documentos principales y un tutorial y aprendería más de lo que el instructor sabe. Por otra parte, usa herramientas complementarias, en lugar de principios básicos.

This course is a very high-level overview of Jekyll and GitHub Pages with the instructor relying on the Jekyll documentation page itself more often than not to provide explanations rather than stepping us through and building upon a project to demonstrate how things work which is more effective training. I actually had to go outside of Udemy and learn the basics of Jekyll first (and stopped taking this course) before I understood what was actually going on (and how to install Jekyll to a Windows machine). Further, there are far more effective examples out there of how to use more advanced techniques with data (such as arrays, JSON, etc.). So it's hard to recommend this course for true beginners or even more advanced users looking for more effective techniques. Honestly, I can't recommend for more than anything other someone looking for what Jekyll can and can't do at this point which you can find quicker yourself on the Jekyll website which is constantly being referred to. Please update this course and start with a training project that you build upon using your instruction's knowledge (which he obviously has) instead of just showing us the Website. We can go there and look ourselves. We want to see more concrete examples of how YOU use it to build a site. Not just how a pre-built site or template has used it all the time.

I was a bit dissapointed by this course. The instructor doesn't go much in deep. He refers for a lot of things just to the official Jekyll documentation.

Course was very informative. Short but full of meaningful content. However I think it should be updated (e.g themes that were recommended by instructor are not actively developed now).
