Why Choose This Course
There are lots of courses on sites like Udemy and others that focus on specific technologies and their certifications. While those courses are good and go into depth, they might not be what you need when you're just starting out. At the beginning, you just need to grasp the basics. You can dive into the details and certifications once you've gained some experience. Unfortunately, most courses and books don't follow this approach for teaching IT. This is one reason why people sometimes find IT difficult. All they see are courses and topics piled on top of each other, trying to explain everything in too much detail. In reality, learning and mastering IT can be easy – and I'll show you how.
