Oracle is mentioned, just not recommended over AWS or Azure, for example.

The general curriculum is basically the same, but each month we try to fix any typos/errors and add any interesting extra to make each lesson more engaging.

Thanks! I’m glad you liked it. It was more of a way to walk away from Reddit, really. Some people asked for the challenge to be on Lemmy, I just listened to them.

Thanks!

In a production environment? Not really, there are better ways to do it. But it’s a good beginner exercise.

Oracle is mentioned alongside AWS and Azure free tiers on the other Day 0 article.

Oh yeah, it slows things down, for sure. But if you never used anything like vim before, that slow pace can benefit the learning experience (at least that happened to me when I started). Bottom line is: vim is a lot. Be patient and it will get easier (and faster) over time.

awww, thanks!

I’d love to add more material about containers, if you have any recommendations please share.

Agreed, Oracle is as devilish as IBM, but I didn’t see any major discrepancies with their Ubuntu version (so far) like I saw on IBM Cloud. It’s a cloud option, but definitely not my first pick.

Nice to know! Thanks for sharing.

It’s really up to you. I’ve been doing some improvements to the material lately, so next month will be slightly different (but not much).
