Testimonials for this guide:

Level has left me with big plans for the future to get out and do something with life. This guide taught me a lot about computer science. The things I learned from this guide - I never knew. It's kind of tricky! Everybody should want to learn and have something for themselves in the future.

- Rontrail, in prison in Florida

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

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.
