"@nigelpoulton initially I was very skeptical about your audio book "The Kubernetes Book" on audible and whether it would be worth my while! What a pleasant surprise! It should be a case study on how to make a technical book work really work well as an audio book. I appreciate the thought you have given this. I was driving as I listened and I could actually "see" the concepts in my mind... well done."

"Kudos to @nigelpoulton for his newest book "Quick Start Kubernetes". If you're new to Kubernetes, and need a quick "get-up-to-speed" book with hands-on demos, then this is the book for you! He does an amazing job all in under 100 pages! #mustread"

"I'm new to the world of Docker and Kubernetes. I started just two months ago and now I can dockerize an app, build and publish images and use these images in k8s deployment. You helped me a lot to get a better understanding of Docker and K8s. I started from scratch with your courses on the Pluralsight platform and I continue to practice with reading your books - thank you."
