Free homeschool curriculum and resources edition 9-- Computer/Programming

I have decided to dedicate a few blogs a week to free homeschool curriculum and resources this is the ninth edition. I was going to do these once a week but due to popular demand and the fact I have 12 years of resources gathered I am going to up the pace of these post to two to three a week.

Today's focus will be on free computer and programming courses you can take. Many people don't know this but computer courses are a waste of money for 90% of people. As most people can learn what they need to know on their own. I thought I needed an IT degree and what I found out is the degree is not important it is the certifications. You don't have to go to college for this to earn those certifications. You can schedule them online and take them for just paying for the test which saves thousands of dollars.

This first link is the class people want to take to learn to repair computers the others are other programming classes one would want to take to learn programing skills.

I personally would start with the first link. I think any programmer should know the ins and the outs of a computer not just the programming but the hardware also. But that is up to you, as knowing the hardware isn't necessary to learn programming.
I hope these resources are as helpful to your family as they are to mine. If there is a certain area you would like to see me cover leave your request in the comments or message me on Steemit.chat or Discord I use the same user name across all platforms.
