Here is a link to the new server I created with this goal in mind

[xenomorph]

thanks for the udpate! passed my a+ 1101 test, burningicetech was my foundation of knowledge for IT, onto the next, thanks!

[thewayitgoes]

I really appreciate how welcoming you are to people new to the tech world.

When you said something to the effect of "for those of you who dont know IT yet. I say yet because you will know all this stuff. Its only a matter of time" it gave me a lot of motivation.

Its easy to feel discouraged when entering a completely new field, but its a nice reminder that we CAN and eventually WILL understand

Thank you for providing this amazing free resource. Its been an essential study tool

New to IT. The explanation is great, doesn’t rush, doesn’t bore me, I actually understand the differences. BLESS THIS CHANNEL, Oh! And it’s updated for 2023 🤞🏻

I recommended your playlist to my CompTIA A+ Class since we cannot review class presentations. I think we are learning more here than what the college professor has offered thus far.

Working as an I.T technician and this course helps me be more knowledgable as I was promoted from being a help desk support. These videos help me be on par with my co workers that have the certification.

I have seen POE boxes and switches and noticed they provide power but didn't realize that was there function. They were just this "thing" and did this "other thing". Its so fun learning more about how things work. This is anatomy and physiology for computer and I'm loving it.

[denellebrijmohun]

this entire playlist is saving my life and I am learning so much, I am new to IT and i cannot thank you enough for this

[tylerodonnell]

This channel is criminally underrated great info great video.

[Driver_X_]

You are my kind of teacher, just going over stuff i mostly know but you are concise and to the point, keep it interesting and not boring at all. Thanks dude. Subbed

[box]

Just wanted to say an heartfelt thanks to you, good sir. You are the reason I could restart my IT journey after my illness of 2 years.
After giving my 1101 and 1102 test I will be doing the Network+ from your channel. I will always be grateful for this help, and, a humble request if I may, Can you please make a similar course on Cisco CCNA and CCNP please?

[firstnamelastname]

I took another course and it was a disappointment. I'm taking yours because it's succinct and you tell me what I need to know for the exams.
I haven't been paid since last November but when I am I'll pass cash your way.

I despise what I have been doing for a living for the last 20 years and you are helping me get out of it. You're also helping me not work through an injury. What you do makes a difference. I owe you.

This course answered all of the curious questions I had about wireless networks, including some nice extras! Thanks so much for going into such detail and giving us the insider field experience!

[timd]

Your videos are the best and fastest no B S just questions and answers with explanations

[pmwyvuj]

I love how you label the diagrams and show us how to do the connections. I found that your teaching will prepare test takers to navigate difficult questions. Thank you so much!

[randomladyaj]

1:05:00 You know you're old when the instructor has to explain what a cordless phone is and you already know but he's teaching the younger people. lol Great stuff!

[Chaos]

I'll just throw this in because nobody else has yet - the final cable is actually "Coaxial" cable, pronounced "kow·ak·see·uhl"

[vertox]

I am a high school student and looking to on IT university and because I want to have more and better knowledge in advance by this course I will perform better there when I arrive as I will have needed knowledge just because of you! Thank you so much for being so generous and kind, God bless! You taught me so many things that I didn't even know but as time passes by and course goes by I connect dots to other stuff you taught me and that makes me more confident and sure in my knowledge! Thanks!

[clementsafari]

thanks a lot, you help us a lot because we don't have money for college

[class]

Leaning new things everyday, Thank you.
