Learning Linux: New Classes Added
We are expanding our course offerings all over the place, but the biggest growth has been in our Linux courses. We started offering a few basic courses last year:This year we have added quite a few and have more in the works!
Overview of Linux Shells - People who have used Linux any length of time will agree that the secret to the power of Linux is in learning to use the Shells. The Bash Shell is probably the most popular of the Linux shells but people who moved from Unix to Linux all have their reasons for loving C Shell and others. This course will give you a good overview of the shells and the basic commands for working with the command prompt in Linux. Want to just learn BASH, check out: Using the BASH Shell.
Using SSH - the Secure Shell - Even if you are not running Linux on your desktop, if you are hosting a website on a Linux or Unix server you may have SSH access to your web server. If so, find out what kinds of things you can do from the shell to make managing your website easier. The great thing about SSH is that all your work is encrypted so no one can see your server passwords or server information.
Using the Emacs Editor - back before there were fancy word processors and graphical applications and mice to help us create documents, there was the Emacs editor. You could accomplish anything from complex searches and replaces to copy and pastes with the press of a combination of buttons. While you still may never completely give up your mouse, this course will have you pressing [ESC][META][ALT][CTRL][SHIFT] all over Emacs! Not up to the challenge of Emacs? Try Using the Vi Editor instead!
Look for Linux application courses on OpenOffice and GIMP coming soon!
