Nix 101: From Zero to Fluent
“Choosing nixcademy for our NixOS trainings has been an invaluable building block in our Shift-Left Strategy at secunet. The trainings have not only enabled us to deliver more value to our customers at a faster pace but have also proven to be a cost-effective way to train our staff. The feedback from the clear majority of participants was overwhelmingly positive. Without a doubt, I would happily purchase Nixcademy trainings again.”
“The Nix(OS) workshop was a valuable experience that has opened up many new possibilities for us. It was particularly impressive how easy it is to create reproducible environments for training neural networks with Nix. Thanks to the knowledge we learned, we have already been able to successfully create some packages and contribute to nixpkgs.”
“Nix is a very promising technology, but I found it very difficult to get started. The Nixcademy helped me a lot to use Nix effectively in my work. The training has given me the practical skills I need to fully evaluate and use Nix.”
“Having recently embarked on building our products with Nix & NixOS, the training provided by nixcademy has been a game-changer for our team. The steep learning curve was made manageable through the comprehensive and well-structured program. The trainer's deep expertise and ability to simplify complex concepts made the learning process enjoyable and effective. I wholeheartedly recommend nixcademy trainings to my colleagues.”
“Thank you very much for the good training, which has helped us a lot to use Nix independently in our projects! It is very well structured and very easy to understand. The instructor communicated very well and hit the right rhythm to make it easy to listen and follow.”
“I recently had the opportunity to participate in nixcademy's Nix & NixOS training, and it was truly transformative for our team. The trainer's knowledge and ability to simplify complex concepts made the learning experience seamless. The week-long training, although challenging, has had a strong enabling effect on our daily work results.”
