Learn to write and visualize YAML documents

This course is designed to equip beginners with the necessary skills to develop YAML documents. YAML, a data serialization language, is widely supported by popular programming languages such as GO, Python, Java, and C#. Throughout the course, participants will explore the various applications of YAML in the industry, including web service communication, configuration management, and data storage.
Participants will learn how to construct well-structured YAML documents using both block style and flow style (JSON style or compact style). Key topics covered include YAML&#x27;s structure, data types, complex mapping, handling multi-line strings, and advanced features such as tags and anchors. Additionally, the course will provide insights into representing data using YAML, different documentation styles, and the tools and technologies that leverage YAML data serialization format.
This course is suitable for Cloud Engineers, DevOps Engineers, Software Engineers, Full Stack Web Developers, Software Architects, Software Managers, and anyone with an interest in learning YAML.
