Testimonials for this guide:

All of a sudden, the complexity of a computer's process is made clear - and it is not so complex! The instructions were simple. The insight was tremendous. In prison, they force religious studies and practices on you. Level has that relief of learning without being shoved full of righteous notions.

I have been incarcerated for over 29 years. This computer science guide has helped me gain a better understanding to the type of world I'm about to enter. I knew nothing about computer science or technology, except for what little I have been exposed to or told about. This guide was enlightening. Thank you!

- Orlando, 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!
