Doc Blackburn has IT experience spanning four decades in application and software design and administration, server and network administration, cloud services and website development, along with security and compliance management and experience in several other technical disciplines. His interest in computers started in 1982 when he first started programming on the Texas Instruments TI-99 4a console, Bally Home Library Computer, and Commodore 64 systems and had continued as a dedicated computer hobbyist until he decided to make information technology a full-time career in 1998. Doc can be found teaching SEC301: Introduction to Cyber Security and SEC401: Security Essentials: Network, Endpoint, and Cloud.
Doc is awesome. I was expecting a stressful week with a "know-it-all" instructor flying through material. Doc breaks things down in simple terms and makes the lectures enjoyable with his humor and anecdotes throughout.
Instructor was one of the best I have ever had! Huge thanks to him!
Doc was excellent as always. He is knowledgeable, engaging and professional. I am very impressed and would happily recommend [SEC401] and Doc's abilities to anyone wanting to learn cyber security.
