Hey everyone,I was always into computers. I did not really intend it as my career ( and really still isn't; I am in analytics ). I learned basic SQL, because I wanted to run FF11 server. I learned basic VBA, because I didn't want to do some manual tasks at work. I basically kinda learned new things, because I want to solve some issue.The other day, my sister contacted me saying she wants to 'learn IT' and linked goIT[1] video. There was really nothing wrong with the material, but the cost stunned me ( basic HTML course was 3k USD when converted from local currency ).I kinda want to help her, but I am wondering if anyone had similar request from a family member and how you approached it. I am almost debating treating it as a personal project ( teaching is a skill ) since she has two headwinds facing her:1. basic English, which kinda limits her ability to pick things free resources I take for granted
2. chatgpt is likely to remove entry level positions for the stuff they teach in those coursesAnyway. Any thoughts?She can be tenacious, when she has a goal in mind. She is not mathematically inclined, but she can logic through a problem.Thank you,[1]https://goit.global/us/
