Linux Training Overview

This course teaches the Linux / Unix computer professional (user, systems administrator, application/system programmer) the techniques needed to develop advanced shell and reporting type procedures. The techniques shown are applicable to all Linux system variants.

This course is the equivalent of Red Hat course 033, with additional shell scripting topics.

Linux Training Prerequisites

This is an advanced Linux/ Unix course. It is assumed that participants either have attended the Red Hat Linux Essentials course, or have equivalent programming experience with the bash and/or Korn shells.

Linux Training Course duration

This course normally requires three (3) days, approximately 50 % lecture, and 50 % lab time.

Linux Training Course Objectives

Each participant will be able to use bash shell, Korn shell , and awk capabilities to maintain collections of files,manipulate data, implement process communication, synchronization, and data sharing. Brief comparisons in techniques and performance considerations with Perl will also be shown.
