Course Summary
The Intermediate Chef training course is a two-day, comprehensive classroom program that will take you beyond the essentials and give you some experience with where to go with Chef after you’ve mastered the basics.
The course will begin with a refresher on Chef fundamentals, and then dive into custom resources. Students will then write Ohai plugins and implement Chef handlers, as well as review Cookbook style. The course will conclude with a review of Foodcritic, Rubocop and other resources.
This class assumes students have enough practical experience with Chef to be comfortable with the topics covered in the Chef Essentials class. Hands-on exercises throughout the class will reinforce the material discussed.
It is strongly recommend that students taking this course have a working knowledge of core Chef concepts and resources, basic experience using knife, cookbook development, and executing chef-client on target nodes, and Chef Fundamentals or Chef Essentials course completion or comparable work experience
