My two-cents: The 300, like the 200, contains a lot of surface level content. There is certainly more “meat” to this course/exam and the little bit of API content that is covered is great! I thought they could have spent more time on plists, as I’ve found them to be immensely useful for things like deferrals.
JamfHelper gets a fair chunk of time (I get it, it’s a built-in tool – let it shine), but I’m not sure who is still leveraging it in a world where things like swiftDialog exist.
(Don’t worry, I hear all of the people still on Catalina screaming in the back of the room. My response: Update already! 😂)
Anyway, my favorite part of these courses has been listening to other students talk about their environments, the issues they run up against, and how they go about solving those issues.
I love getting a different perspective on problems and their solutions!
How much scripting is emphasized in the course? I am super noob in regards to scripting, I understand the concepts but I need assistance creating a script and such. So I can’t really do it on my own. Is there a lot of scripting in the course?
Great question! When I took the course in 2023, I remember it being pretty light on scripting. That was something I had just started learning at the time and, like you, didn’t feel I could construct something on my own from scratch.
I think there were maybe only two scripting scenarios and the instructor walks you through a lot of it.
Oh awesome! That is relieving to know! I will definitely study and prepare but I was worried about that specific aspect. Thank you!
