I work as a first level IT Technician since August for a very big Airline and out of all videos which can be found on youtube, I find YOUR channel to be the most educating and most easy to understand. Thank you very much I appreciate.

[@PowerCertAnimatedVideos]

That is awesome!

[@cranjismcbasketball8113]

Congrats on the job, hope it's still going well! What are some of the most common tickers you have to deal with? I'm also trying to get a first level IT tech role and trying to learn as much as I can

[@SoufyanRaj]

@@cranjismcbasketball8113 Thank you very much my friend. So I work for an airline as a Onsite Support technician, and we basically provide first level support for the airline office workers. So basically if they have ANY questions regarding their notebooks or any other mobile device (wheter its a hardware question or software question) we try to help and fix the problem. We also maintain the work station of the emloyees and check if the working station is usuable (check network connectivity etc.) and if for example one work station does not have internet connection I need to check the reason why. So I may need to enter the server room and check the patch cables. This channel has helped me BIG TIME to learn these skills.

[@ardentdfender4116]

The only thing that would be more awesome than this video, is being able to get one every week. That would blow all out minds.

Speaking slow is an underrated quality in teachers

[@karnasinhgohil6605]

I do not agree with you, teachers are for sharing knowledge. Students come to learn not to sharp their memory.

[@armanshaikh3171]

@@PowerCertAnimatedVideos please make on what TLL, bytes, time in ping command.

[@itsTraco]

​@@armanshaikh3171 TTL = Time To Live. Every time your data packet is being forwarded by a router (so called "hop") this number will be decreased until it reaches the value zero. After that the packet is being dropped which will end in a request time out. Bytes = A unit of measurement in IT. 1 Byte equals to 8 bit. A bit is the smallest size of information, it can be either 0 or 1. This has got to do with the dual number system (aka binary numbers) as opposed to the decimal number system (0 to 9, every other number is a combination of those). In this case it is the size of our ping request data packet. Time = Literally the time that has passed to get back to you. Measured in milliseconds (1/1000 of a second). That is the best explanation I can come up with. Hope it helps a little. :)

Amazing how you can know things already and simply forget if you're not currently utilizing that knowledge, been away from I.T way too long. This video was a joy to watch and with the animation it all came back fresh like it never left. Awesome job.

You are simply the Best Visual Instructor among your peers, you have positively enabled and affected a lot of life in the tech world. your animated videos take away fear and anticipation of exams because a candidate can visualize the problem and apply the solution as taught. on behalf of others, though unknown but I believe will agree with me.

Best network explanation video. It has such a great pedagogy.

[@AmpersandMan]

Great videos! One thing i have always tried to train people on is ping. Sometimes, i find it hard to get techs to understand that ping isn’t the 100% black and white but more as a troubleshooting tool to be used with other information. In my office, we joke about the “its not dns” the way that Dr House refers to lupus. It’s never DNS until it is DNS. Lol

[@GregInHouston2]

Pretty good. Lacking in one respect. I remember the first time I needed to test an iSCSI environment. You mention the switches without giving the viewer any idea why you would need switches. In my case, I needed to test the jumbo frame communications between devices. It took me a bit of research before I found that I could use the -size parameter of ping to test it. I get it that your target audience isn't someone that will have any clue about jumbo frames. But it can be useful information.
