This computer science guide was not something I could breeze through. It was challenging, but I have a starting point now. I am eager to move forward. I want to thank Level for providing the information you do. These lessons have truly been key in giving us the tools to start a change in our behaviors and lives.

Testimonials for this guide:
- Damon, incarcerated in Illinois
I had never previously studied computer science. This is the best course I have received from you to date. It contained challenging but understandable material that has practical application. It's excellent content, presented well, achievable, convenient. I recommend Level regularly - thank you for your programs!
- Colin, in prison in Illinois
I learned more from this guide than I have from a lot of the computer books I have been reading. This course was very good because they won't teach anything about computers here in prison. Thank you for all the work in putting this all together, and I look forward to my next lesson. Every day I love to learn.
- John, in prison in Connecticut
