I like it, looks great. But I would like to see your education/certification/experience presented on the website. I would say that is kind of mandatory when saying you teach "The Right Way" of something.



Yes, sorry for that, it may be a bit presumptuous. I tried "The Worst Way" it didn't work as much ;)

Joke aside, most training/material I saw give too much information or not enough, I tried to find the right balance to help people understand (giving a lot of information) and remember things (working hard to learn stuff).

Most other training are also pretty expensive: I tried to a cheap version and ended up providing the exercises for free. An lot of universities don't have the resources to provide good quality/up-to-date training, I hope students will be able to learn from my exercises...

Most other training are backed up by a certifications: I tried to do something where people just learn stuff because they are interested by them and want to get better and not teaching them "just what they need to pass the cert..."

Regarding my background: one engineering degree in IT architecture, one master in Security (both done in France). Few years of sysadmin at school and teaching web tuff (mostly PHP to pay for stuff). 3 years working in France as a security consultant, where I also gave few trainings and talks. And the same thing for 4 years in Australia. I don't put that online because I didn't think it was relevant :/

Finally, marketing is hard and I needed something catchy ;)


I see! Well, since you had a really proper background, it doesn't bother me you used such a phrase.

For all I knew, you were a high school kid who had just read some books and thought he now knew all there is to know. ;)
