This course will teach the basic concepts of IT in easy language.

– Have a basic understanding of what code looks like

This course if for:
– Anyone with a non-IT background that is working in an IT environment
– Non-technical people that communicate with IT professionals a lot
– Anyone that wants to understand more about the basics of IT
This course is not for:
– People with a lot of IT experience
– People that hope to learn programming in this course (though it is a good course to take before learning how to program)
If there are any topics that you’d like to have discussed as well, or that you want to have more in-depth knowledge of, please let me know and I’d love to add them to this course!

You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.
Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don't have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That's up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
