"Free Software" Classes

I teach a few classes at Mesa Community College's Network Academy. Note that we have moved to the Southern and Dobson campus.

Upcoming FLOSS classes:

• Introduction to GNU/Linux System Administration - I teach this Monday and Wednesday nights, Dennis will have Tuesday and Thursday mornings
• Introduction to GNU/Linux - Phil, Dennis and Chris are teaching this one at different times

Check for more upcoming GNU/Linux classes in the Maricopa Community College system.

Call Business & Information Systems, 480 461 7771, and ask for Jessica in order to register for Network Academy classes.

The community colleges teach a lot of GNU/Linux classes. They also have C++, Perl and PHP classes. They have others, but finding them can be difficult.

• Introduction to GNU/Linux
• Introduction to GNU/Linux System Administration
• GNU/Linux Networking Administration
• GNU/Linux Security
• GNU/Linux Shell Scripting

GNU/Linux Networking Administration, CIS240DL, covers common services such as web(apache), mail, DNS, samba and SSH for GNU/Linux. Most of those services are operating system independent, so the class will also mostly apply to other *NIXen such as *BSD and Solaris. It is next scheduled for January 2012.

Here are some Free Software and system administration groups in Phoenix.

• ABLEconf
• Phoenix Linux Users Group
• LOPSA-US-AZ ( system administration group )
• Arizona LoCo ( Ubuntu group )
• ASU Linux Users Group
• AzPHP
• Phoenix *BSD Users Group
