Are there good quick-start courses available for Pulumi or is this a hit to docs kind of tool? I don't mind reading the docs at all, but I do love a good educational video course

no video courses are available quite yet, but we do have video content over in https://www.youtube.com/c/PulumiTV/videos the docs getting started guides are a great place to start with step-by-step directions https://www.pulumi.com/docs/get-started/ and we also have step-by-step directions in the learn pathways https://www.pulumi.com/learn/ hope this is helpful!

Thank you!! It is, I will visit the site!
