The "Programming Foundations: Fundamentals" course on LinkedIn Learning is an excellent starting point for anyone new to programming. The content is well-organized, and the instructor does a great job of breaking down complex concepts into easily digestible lessons. I appreciated the hands-on examples and the way it covers key topics such as variables, control structures, and debugging. Overall, it provides a strong foundation and is perfect for beginners. However, a bit more focus on real-world applications would have been beneficial. Highly recommend for anyone looking to start their programming journey!

Overall Good Course Covering Programming Fundamental Topic From Scratch, Good for Beginners. This Course Also Teaches in a Practical Way. This Course is Too Basic and Too Outdated.
