"Free Software" Classes

Tue, 2007/12/04 - 21:10 — lufthans

I teach a few classes at Mesa Community College's Business and Industry Institute in downtown Mesa.

Sign up now for second quarter classes starting the 20th of Oktober.

Upcoming classes:

The GNU/Linux Security class, CIS271DL, will be running this quarter!

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

Call the Business and Industry Institute, 480 461 6100, and ask for Jessica in order to register for BII classes.

I'm really excited about the OpenOffice.org class as well. It's great that MCC is supporting an opportunity for people to learn a Free Software office suite. Michelle teaches this inexpensive, online class through MCC's main campus. It will be running again in the Spring semester. Due to inter-county agreements the OpenOffice.org class is available for Maricopa county rates in some other Arizona counties as well. The online OpenOffice.org class will run again in the Spring.

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.

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 will run again in January 2009.

I am also the chair for LOPSA's education committee. Watch for our classes at Ohio Linux Fest in October 2008 and SCaLE in February 2009.

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