Our Verdict

This Adobe Experience Manager CMS Basics course is a suitable starting point for beginners looking to explore the platform. While there's room for improvement in delivering clarity and consistency throughout the course, it offers valuable fundamental insights and practical exercises for gaining familiarity with AEM's features. Non-technical users should be prepared for some development discussions but can look forward to an informative high-level overview of this powerful CMS solution.

What We Liked

Straightforward introduction to Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), ideal for AEM beginners or those considering a shift from other CMS platforms like Drupal, WordPress, or Teamsite.
Hands-on experience offered by installing an author and publish instance, editing pages in both classic and touch UIs, and creating a simple project to apply concepts.
Instructor clarifies essential AEM terminology such as components, templates, clientlibs, and various authoring modes.
Logical presentation style with helpful insights for content authors seeking a high-level understanding of the platform

Potential Drawbacks

Captions have several typos and mistranslations, affecting comprehension in some sections.
Several development steps are discussed which might overwhelm non-technical users or those interested solely in content management aspects.
Demonstrations could be slowed down during screen sharing to better follow the instructor's clicks and navigation within AEM.
Instructions for installing on both Mac and Windows PC would be beneficial, as current instructions cater primarily to Windows users.
