My journey through the Google IT Support Professional Certificate

Less than 24 hours ago, I took the plunge.

I reached into my mental wallet, extracted my credit card information, and signed up for Google ‘s IT Support Professional Certificate. It was 2:39 am. I was ready. And tired as fuck.

But I’m almost done with the first week of work (it took only a few hours) and I wanted to share some gems I’ve learned, my reasoning, and my entire life story. The latter will come at another day, for sure.

Actually, I’ll save all of that for another blog post. In the words of our Queen, Beyonce, “I’ve got work to do”. Anyway, I learned how to convert binary value to decimal value in a matter of minutes. Hooray!

Here are some other terms and things I’ve learned so far.

Algorithm- a series of steps that solves specific problems

Cryptography- the art of writing and solving codes

Binary system- aka the base 2 numeral system is our computer language. (Binary to decimal and vice versa)In binary 1=On, 0=Off.

Abstraction- simplifying a complex system for our use.

This is the roughest ass draft I’ve ever written about anything, but I want to quickly document my learning in the moment.

I’ll make it flowery and shit later.

Peace.
