This course provides a basic overview of computer networking, hardware, software, etc.
This course is for people who want to learn about Java but have little
previous programming experience. It is not aimed at the Sun Certified
Programmers Exam, which is for people who already know how to program
in Java. This course mentions both Windows, Linux, & Mac. However, all commands should work irregardless of the operating system.
This course is an introduction to the use of FOSS with Apple hardware.
We will cover topics such as open source applications running natively
in Mac OS X, open source applications within X11 on Mac OS X and
booting Linux in various ways on PPC hardware.
This course is for businesses, non-profits, and home users who have experience using Windows but are wanting to migrate to Linux. Course includes Workstation & Server application cross references between Windows and Linux, common pitfalls between the two operating systems, planning for a migration, rolling out a migration, using Linux, and Linux Administration. Included with this course is Introduction to Linux course and the Introduction to Linux System Administration course. You get 3 courses for the price of 1! You may also substitute one of the Linux operating system specific courses (Xandros Business, CentOS / Redhat Linux Enterprise, or Debian) for the Introduction to Linux course.
Many people still believe that learning Linux is difficult, or that only experts
can understand how a Linux system works. Though there is a lot of free documentation
available, the documentation is widely scattered on the Web, and often confusing,
since it is usually oriented toward experienced UNIX or Linux users. Today, thanks
to the advancements in development, Linux has grown in popularity both at home and
at work. The goal of this guide is to show people of all ages that Linux can be
simple and fun, and used for all kinds of purposes.
This course is designed to train home and business users who are new to OpenOffice, and those who are migrating from Microsoft Office to OpenOffice. OpenOffice is powerful, flexible and its free. Even though OpenOffice is free, you will need to invest some time to
learn OpenOffice. This course takes a different approach to
learning. We could just go from one feature to the next and show you
how to use each application - but that's boring. And it's definitely not the
best way to learn. Instead, we base each course topic around a real world example - then we show you how to use OpenOffice to solve the problem. You'll not only learn how to use OpenOffice, you'll see how features
work together, and you'll see new ways to work more efficiently and
creatively.
This course cover Xandros Desktop OS Business Edition and is designed to migrate Windows users to Linux. Xandros Desktop Business Edition is an easy-to-use solution for
corporate desktop and laptop computers. Xandros offers the security and
stability of Linux with the simplicity and familiarity of a
Windows-like experience. Xandros Desktop Business Edition runs Windows-based programs and
seamlessly integrates with Windows domain networks. Users can share
files and printers with any other Windows computer or server. Business Edition can be installed and administered locally or through a
remote management console on the network. Xandros lowers business costs and
simplifies the administration of desktop computers in business
environments.
This course provides a summary of useful command-line
tools available to a GNU/Linux based operating system, the tools listed
are designed to benefit the majority of users and provides extensive hands on training. This course is not a
comprehensive list of every
existent tool available to a GNU/Linux based system. It is a summary which can be used to learn about and
how to use many of the tools available to a GNU/Linux based operating
system by everyday users.
This course is designed to help new and
intermediate Linux users navigate and perform common everyday tasks. Keep in mind
that Linux looks, feels, and performs differently from other operating
systems you may have used. Forget about the conventions of other operating
systems and, with an open mind, approach Red Hat / CentOS Enterprise Linux as a new, interesting, and
versatile alternative.
NOTE: Centos Enterprise Linux is built from the Red Hat Enterprise
Linux source code. Other than logo and name changes CentOS Enterprise
Linux is binary compatible with the equivalent Red Hat version. This course applies equally to both Red Hat and CentOS Enterprise Linux.
This course is designed around Debian based distributions and will make your Linux journey easier, by giving you
the big picture, providing you with step-by-step procedures,
and getting you started doing useful or fun activities, such as
word processing, creating presentations, editing video or graphics, using web browsers and email, keeping track of finances, or simply playing games. This course focuses on the needs of the
new Linux user and on desktop Linux applications. You'll
learn about networks and servers, but the details of those
topics are left for more advanced courses.
A mini-course covering video editing and production using open-source software. This course covers kino, cinelerra, and the gimp used for making video for web, presentations, and television.
This course covers desktop publishing using Scribus & Inkscape. Scribus is a open-source application that many claim is better than the commercial Adobe Pagemaker. Scribus brings award-winning professional DTP (Desktop Publishing) to Linux with a combination of "press-ready" output and new approaches
to
page layout. Inkscape is an open source drawing tool with capabilities similar to
Illustrator, Freehand, and CorelDraw that uses the W3C standard scalable
vector graphics format (SVG). Combining the two in real world scenerios is used throughout this course. Sample files allow you to follow along easily to learn everything from basic to advanced features of each.
Introduction to Linux System Administration course is intended for people who know next to nothing about linux system
administration but who have already
mastered at least the basics of normal linux usage. This course covers all the things that you have to
do to keep a linux system in usable order. It includes
things like backing up files (and restoring them if necessary),
installing new programs, creating accounts for users (and deleting
them when no longer needed), managing the filesystem, performing hardware and software diagnostics, installing new hardware, and so on. If a computer were, say, a house,
system administration would be called maintenance, and would
include cleaning, fixing things that get broken or wear out.
This course provides a single reference for network
administration in a Linux environment. Beginners and experienced users
alike should find the information they need to cover nearly all
important administration activities required to manage a Linux network
configuration, services, authentication, or even Linux within a Multi-OS environment (heterogenious network). The range of topics to cover is nearly
limitless, so of course it has been impossible to include everything
there is to say on all subjects. We've tried to cover the most
important and common ones. We've found that beginners to Linux
networking, even those with no prior exposure to Unix-like operating
systems, have taken this course and helped them successfully
get their Linux network configurations up and running and get them
ready to learn more.
This course covers Samba administration. Samba provides file and print services for Microsoft Windows clients. This course is designed to meet the needs of the Microsoft & Unix/Linux network administrator. If you are a
Microsoft certified specialist, this course should meet your needs rather well in integrating a Samba file or print server into an existing Windows network. Also covers using Samba as a Primary Domain Controller (PDC) or Backup Domain Controller (BDC) for a Windows Domain/Network.
This course covers storage management using logical volumes. Logical Volumes provide a higher-level view of the disk
storage on a computer system than the traditional view of disks and
partitions. This gives the system administrator much more flexibility
in allocating storage to applications and users. This course is designed to train those who are managing large amounts of data across multiple servers, such as data centers.
This course contains information about setting up a Linux Server Cluster using the Cluster Manager system.
The course covers Hardware Installation and Operating System Configuration, Network Hardware Selection and Configuration, Cluster Server Configuration, Configuring a Linux Virtual Server Cluster, Achieving Load Balancing Across Clusters, and Supplementary Hardware Information which contains detailed configuration information
on specific hardware devices and shared storage configurations. You will have the concepts needed to manage everything from a small database cluster, to a medium sized cluster of servers for scientific analysis, to the worlds largest super-computers.
This course covers the installation, configuration, and administration of a MySQL database server. In-depth training covers creating databases, modifying databases, adding information to databases, creating database users, importing and exporting data from files, backuping and restoring databases. Covers shell commands and using GUI tools for managing MySQL Databases. This course is designed to guide a person who has never worked with any type of database, and prepare them for the CompTIA MySQL Database Administrators Certification.
This course is an Introduction to Computer Programming. It covers the essentials needed to move on to other programming languages, such as C or C+. This course is designed to take a person who has never even looked at programming code and get them prepared to start writting their own applications, gui's, or even games using open source software.
This course explains the concepts of using PHP Programming for creating dynamic web sites, web site applications, or even computer applications and games. This course takes a different approach to learning PHP in that each course topic involves a problem that must be solved using PHP Programming. The course final test requires you to chose from one of several available tests, and each requires you to write an application using the knowledge from this course.
This course prepares a student for the Certified Etherical Hacker Certification offered by EC Council. It covers all the areas of the course, with in-depth coverage of the tools (Main Topics include Introduction; Footprinting; Scanning; Enumeration; System Hacking; Trojans & Backdoors; Sniffers; Denial of Service; Social Engineering; Session Hijacking; Hacking Web Servers; Web Application Vulnerabilities; Web-based Password Cracking; SQL Injection; Hacking Wireless Networks; Virus; Physical Security; Linux Hacking; Evading Firewalls, Honeypots, and IDS; Buffer Overflows; Cryptography; Penetration Testing) The actual CEH certification test takes approximately 3 hours and covers more than 125 questions.
Students should have access to a virtual machine (VMWare, Qemu, etc) and multiple operating systems (Windows 9x, 2000, XP, 2003; Linux) to conduct testing against the virtual machines for this course. An alternative option is to have access to a private LAN in which multiple different Windows & Linux computers can be set up.
This course prepares students new to computer and network security for more advanced courses in computer and network security or forensics. This course does not cover a specific operating system, but instead uses examples from sevearl operating systems...including DOS, Windows, Unix, Linux, MacIntosh, Solaris. This course is a pre-requisite for other courses in this category. You may opt to test out if you start the course and it is too basic.
