Congratulations! Course Wrap-Up (Foundations of Computing) transcripts (if you don't want to watch the video)

And here we are. We have reached the end of our journey through the foundations of computing.

If you have made it this far, I want to offer my sincere congratulations. This is a significant accomplishment, and you should be proud of the foundation you have built.

As a formal recognition of your hard work, if you have completed all the quizzes and assignments so far, a Certificate of Completion is now available for you to download in this section. You have earned it.

Now, for those of you who want to take your understanding one step further and aim for higher certifications, I have included assignments in this concluding section. It is totally optional, of course, but it's a great way to challenge yourself and synthesize everything we have learned.

Now, let's think back to where we started. We began in the physical world of hardware, uncovering how we built the "stage"—from room-sized dreams to the microchip. And then we shifted to software, exploring the concepts of how we write the "play"—the commands that power that stage.

My goal was never for you to memorize every detail. It was to give you a map, a big picture that connects the past to the present. Now, when you hear about the next big thing in tech, you have the context to look deeper and better separate the genuine breakthroughs from the temporary noise.

And this is just the beginning. I hope you will join me for Part 2 of this course, where we will cover the rise of the internet and our modern, connected age.

So thank you. Thank you for your curiosity and your hard work.

Finally, I would be incredibly grateful if you could take a moment to leave some feedback for me. Your honest thoughts and suggestions are what allow me to improve this course, and I truly value your perspective.

I encourage you to take this new perspective out into the world. Keep building your big picture, and I hope to see you again very soon.
