    I recently completed the course, Programming Foundations/Fundamentals on LinkedIn Learning, and it was immensely helpful in understanding the fundamentals of programming. The instructor, Annyce, did an outstanding job explaining the terms and concepts in a clear and comprehensible way. She walked us through all the foundational aspects of programming with great expertise. I would highly recommend this course to my friends and colleagues.
