    Thank you freecodecamp for your videos. I am a Junior developer. I started coding in March of 2022(Your videos got me started). You bring a lot of great tutors on here. I landed my first job as a full-stack developer. Thank you guys

  12. Nowadays, such a comprehensive video on the basics of computer is hard to find because people think no one needs these information anymore. The school goers and oldies can benefit from these videos grately
    Thanks freeCodeCamp

  13. Irene ka'bunde

    This is very informative…I have always wanted to but never gotten the chance like thanks for this platform

  14. Cars

    Please provide certificate for all courses

  15. Nauja diena

    Some points to improve video:
    Tis is not for ABSOLUTE beginers (many basic terms do not explainded).
    No mention of Linux.
    No mention of free and comercial software.
    No mention of proprietary and open source software.
    Getting a snack is a bad advise for your health.

  16. Phillip Nelson

    More "absolute beginner" videos, please! (Especially math and science!)

    This is amazing. Thank you. We appreciate all that you do,
    Education and knowledge available for all!
