How to Get Started with IT

Introducing the Destin Learning Free Tier Starter Guide

If you’re thinking about getting into IT or programming, one question usually comes up early:

Where do I start?

For years, I’ve watched people struggle with that exact question. Not because they weren’t capable — but because most learning resources make things harder than they need to be.

• Too much theory
• Too many videos.
• Not enough doing.

That’s why I’m excited to officially launch the Destin Learning Free Tier Starter Guide.

Why I Created This Guide

I’ve spent over 30 years working as a software developer, architect, and IT manager, and just as long teaching others how to break into technology.

One thing has always bothered me:

Most people fail at learning IT not because it’s too hard — but because it’s taught the wrong way.

You don’t learn technical skills by watching endlessly.
You learn them by using real tools, solving real problems, and practicing.

The Free Tier Starter Guide was created to give you a clear, practical starting point — without cost, pressure, or complexity.

What the Free Tier Starter Guide Includes

The guide walks you through what’s available in the Destin Learning Free Tier, including:

• 🐧 Linux Crash Course
  Learn the fundamentals of Linux — the foundation of modern computing, cloud platforms, and servers.
• ✏️ Introduction to the Nano Editor
  Hands-on labs that teach you how to edit files confidently in Linux environments.
• 💻 Foundations of Computer Programming
  Understand how programming really works: variables, logic, program flow, and problem-solving.
• 🎯 IT Career Guide
  Explore common IT career paths and learn how to plan your learning journey.
• 💼 How to Become a Successful Programmer Without a Degree
  Learn the key skills and competencies needed to build a programming career outside the traditional degree path.

Everything in the Free Tier is available at no cost.

• No credit card.
• No hidden upsells.
• Just real learning.

Who This Is For

The Destin Learning Free Tier Starter Guide is ideal if you:

• Are new to IT or programming
• Are considering a career change
• Prefer hands-on learning over video-only courses
• Feel overwhelmed by complex platforms
• Want a clear place to begin

You don’t need prior experience.
You don’t need to “be good at math.”
You just need curiosity and a willingness to learn by doing.

Learn by Doing — Even in the Free Tier

Destin Learning is built around a simple philosophy:

Skills are built through action, not observation.

That’s why the Free Tier focuses on hands-on labs using real environments and real tools — without requiring you to install or configure anything locally.

You spend your time learning, not troubleshooting setup issues.
