Skip the 6-month Nix & NixOS Ramp-Up

“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.”

“The Nix & NixOS 101 class was exactly what I needed. As someone with a strong background in cybersecurity and software engineering, I appreciated how the course cut through the fragmented online resources and provided clear, practical guidance. It's been a fantastic introduction to Nix, and I'm excited to continue learning.”

“Nixcademy has been a game-changer for me. Working with my mentor has been incredibly rewarding. Each session, I bring my Nix and NixOS ideas, and together, we make them work. The personalized guidance and in-depth education have boosted my skills tremendously. I highly recommend Nixcademy for anyone serious about mastering Nix.”

“The Nix(OS) workshop was a valuable experience that has opened up many new possibilities for us in recent weeks. 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.”

“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 if you have already been around the programming world for a while. The instructor communicated very well and hit the right rhythm to make it easy to listen and follow.”

“I am delighted with the course and the content! The tutor is competent and presents the course content in an understandable way and responds to spontaneous questions in detail. The many practical examples have opened up new ideas and horizons for me, which help me to do my work more efficiently in my day-to-day work. The training week was full of aha-effects, and enlightened my Nix world view on a broad basis”

“Jacek's invaluable support and expertise were instrumental in enabling my team to develop customized systems for sensor data collection and post-processing of measurements. His adept use of Nix for ensuring maintainability and quick deployments has been nothing short of remarkable. I may not fully comprehend the technical details, but my employees have consistently praised his exceptional teaching style and ability to communicate complex concepts in a clear and concise manner.”

“Jacek's technical expertise and dynamic teaching style have been a game-changer for my team as we navigate the fast-paced world of AI and mobile app development. As a service provider, we frequently need to create rapid proof of concepts with multiple moving parts that must be transformed into marketable products with lightning speed. Jacek's exceptional support has been an incredible asset, and I cannot imagine going back to our previous ways of working without him.”

“Style: The mix of Hands on, theoretical foundations and background stuff combined with just playing around and testing out things.”

• Good mix of theory and exercises.
• Very competent trainer.
• Order of topics was good (topics built on each other). Clear structure.
• NixOS Training came at the right time (interesting field and knowledge is needed in this field).

“I liked the mix of theory and practice. Also, the pace was perfect for me. I struggled a little, but that's fine, because that implies, that learning happens.”

“I've had poor experiences with training weeks in the past where the content ended up not being engaging or applicable, so I came into this thinking I would feel the same way. However, I was presently surprised very quickly on day 1. I could tell we were going to learn a ton and that we did! I left the week wishing we had more time. It was fun. Lots of practical examples.”

“I really liked the learning it the hard way approach of having simple problems to solve without having every single bit of information needed to solve them at the time -- forcing you to actually think about the problem and how to obtain the needed docs. The moments of realization this approach trigger are truly helpful to learning -- and the solutions provide a nice long-term reference to go back to when needed.”

“Every aspect of the Nix training was directly embedded into a practical exercise. The trainer completely knows what he is talking about. There are no stupid questions, everybody was able to get along with their own pace, but at the end, everybody was at the same knowledge level.”

“I finally feel like I understand nix from base principles.”

• Many real life examples
• Knowledge of the trainer
• Good/open environment in terms of possibility to ask questions
• Mixture of theory and practise

“Just a ton of information to take in a short period of time. It felt like a semester of school in one week.”

“The presenter was clearly experienced and enthusiastic on the topic. We managed to address a wide scope of different topics. The prepared exercise material was helpful to quickly focus the important aspects of an exercise. The journey through the field was well structured, logical and put clear focus.”

• Content was extremely applicable and ordering of content was on-point
• Engaging
• I was honestly very impressed by the teacher's technical acumen
