Pulling the Strings

“How Long is a Piece of String?”: All the Ways New Puppet Training Simplifies Complexity

Supposedly, Albert Einstein once said, “If you can't explain it to a six-year-old, then you don't understand it yourself.” That might be a bit harsh, but it holds true for teaching just about anything: You’ve got to meet learners where they are. That’s why Puppet recently launched new on-demand training courses and more. There’s a new, engaging way to learn how to do things with Puppet without going down too many rabbit holes.

On this episode of Pulling the Strings, Ben Ford interviews Principal Training Solutions Engineers Jain Waldrip and Tom Chisholm about designing training with “highly calibrated visuals,” the exciting new avenues for Puppet learners, and much more.

Highlights:

  • What’s led Jain and Tom to their roles in Puppet training
  • What you can expect from Puppet’s new on-demand training courses 
  • Introducing Puppet Console Overview, an interactive, guided tour of the Puppet Console
