I work as an IT Field services technician.

This first course was a great introduction into what IT is. It did not have a lot of information that I wasn't familiar with already BUT that is because I already work in IT. I think this was well built and truly starts from the bottom up. Great course.

Offered a great broad introduction. As someone who was very familiar with technology, but has not worked in the IT field, there was still interesting topics touched on that I did not know. The supplemental reading was useful and appropriate for gaining a deeper understanding beyond the lecture.

I'm glad I stumbled upon this course since I had a different career (non-IT related) but had always been interested with the IT world and this particular course is a very good foundation, easy to understand and really well thought out and I hope someday it will give me an edge in the IT world.

What a wonderful assembly of fundamentals in an easy to learn series of short to the point segments. I love the amount of things mentioned that deserve deeper dives but are left to the student or a later course to expand on. At no point did I feel like we had wondered away and gotten off topic.

This program was recommended to me to see how interested into IT I would be, and I have to say I do!

The beginning section was so dang interesting, learning about binary numbers, how to build a computer, and so much other great insight into these computers we use so much, including our phones!!

Very clear and detailed with encouragement and motivation from presenting the various paths that have brought the different teachers to IT. Some parts were a bit slow for more experienced students like myself, but I love that it is accessible to all levels. Looking forward to the next course.

I have several years of IT experience and was taking this course as a refresher

since I have been working in Automotive research for the last several years.

I found this course loaded with information and was very entertaining even

being familiar with a majority of the topics.

Great Job Google!

Khóa học giúp tôi hiểu về những kiến thức nền tảng, cơ bản về cấu trúc của một máy tính, cũng như cách mà máy tính vận hành. Thật ngạc nhiên về cách mà máy tính và người dùng có thể giao tiếp với nhau, không ngờ nó phải trải qua nhiều công đoạn và nhiều ngôn ngữ khác nhau như vậy, rất thú vị.
