A keen learner, but, where do I begin with all the resources?

[jiaxiang]

Good day everybody,

This is my first post here as I just figured that there's such platform for people that wish to learn everything about Google Cloud and the eco-system. The resources available are immense, resourcesful and accessible. 

However coming without prior background, I am not sure which are the resource I need to look at first. Wondering if anybody share the same issue, or if this is just me. However, I am persistent and really want to find a way to learn as much and not get scared away after being lost in all the resources available. 

Are there any place which I might have not came across actually have directory guidance for beginner, and have tools and tutorial to allow new learners to pick up the relevant knowledge first before being introduced to the next which would require the understanding of the first.

Hope I am asking this in the right place, if not apologies! Happy to have found here.

Looking forward to learn and share with people my knowledge in the future.

Hey @Roderick 

Thank you for the warm welcome! I was actually already looking at the program however I do face issue with activating? I will attach the screenshot but I am not sure why as they didnt' show any issue or error code. 

Thought it was having some issue so I waited a couple of day, but today remain the same. Do you know how I can deal with this?

Thanks @Roderick thanks for the tag!

@jiaxiang Thanks for reaching out with this question. By chance did you purchase the subscription or receive it as part of your registration for Google Cloud Next? Depending on which avenue, it may take up to 48 hours for you to be provisioned to activate the subscription.

Hello @CrystalSmith 

I'm not too sure myself I believe I signed up, but regardless, it has been more than 48 hours it remained the same - no option to upgrade nor activate to innovator plus.
